Hello friends. We are back with a social subject in solsarin. This is about “Air Fryer Broccoli and Cauliflower”. Please comment at the end of the text.
Bite-sized pieces of lightly seasoned broccoli and cauliflower come out tender and crispy in just a few minutes in the air fryer. Healthy snacks and sides have never been easier to make. No muss, no fuss, just delicious, flavorful vegetables!
VEGGIES Broccoli and cauliflower are such a popular pair because they’re healthy sides to any protein! Other veggies to add to the medley are carrots, brussels sprouts, and bell peppers.
SEASONINGS These vegetables are lightly coated in oil and tossed with garlic, salt, and pepper. Experiment by roasting veggies with other seasoning blends like lemon pepper, spicy cajun, or this universal blend for seasoned salt that can be used for anything.
This is the easiest broccoli and cauliflower recipe! You need a mixing bowl, some measuring cups, and an air fryer. Here is a list:
To begin, line your air fryer the basket with grease proof baking paper and set aside. This helps for easy clean up.
Cut your veggies: Cut the cauliflower and broccoli into florets. TIP: Cauliflower takes longer to cook, so make sure the broccoli florets are slightly larger.
Season veggies: Toss the cauliflower and broccoli florets in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use wet hands to rub the seasonings in.
Air fry: Add the veggies to an air fryer basket lined with baking paper. Air fry at 160°C/320°F for 15 minutes, checking, shaking the basket every 3 – 4 minutes – this is necessary so everything cooks evenly. Remove broccoli florets early if they start to burn.
Add cheese: Remove from the air fryer, sprinkle with the parmesan cheese on top and squeeze with lemon juice.
Return to the air fryer and cook for a further 2 minutes.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can easily make this recipe in the oven with just a few easy steps.
Arrange the vegetables in an even layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake at 400 degrees F for approximately 20 minutes. Turn the vegetables over after 10 minutes of cooking time.
This recipe tastes great garnished with a sprinkle of black pepper, a splash of lemon juice or lemon zest as a side with grilled chicken, pork, or beef.
It can also be tossed into a bowl of pasta with pesto sauce , Asian chicken pasta salad or used for meal prep in salads with shredded chicken or served as a topper to baked potatoes with a dollop of sour cream and shredded cheese.

The first time I tried roasted vegetables and their tender-crisp, lightly caramelized, mildly sweet, flavor-packed splendor, I was hooked! Not only are they super versatile, both to season and serve, but they’re also super simple to prepare. Which is how this roasted cauliflower and broccoli (air fryer method included) has become one of my favorite meal-prep-friendly, all-purpose side dishes.
Not only do broccoli and cauliflower pair perfectly, but when tossed in a simple garlic and lemon seasoning, you’ve officially reached crowd-pleasing, child-approved levels of crave-worthy perfection! Even if you aren’t a garlic fan, keep reading for other seasoning inspiration, including crispy roasted broccoli and cauliflower with parmesan, Asian dressing, garam masala, and more.
Best of all, you can enjoy this oven-baked or air fryer broccoli and cauliflower from fresh or frozen, with just minutes of hands-on prep and as little as 12 minutes for the air fried broccoli and cauliflower or 25-30 minutes in the oven. Simply chop the florets, toss with your seasonings of choice, and bake/air fry to perfection. Then, enjoy immediately, use for a week of meal-prep meals, or even freeze the leftover for up to 6 months!
When separating the florets, I like to start by pulling them apart with my hand, then using a knife to chop any larger pieces down to size.
Cauliflower takes slightly longer to cook than broccoli, so feel free to (optionally) remove the broccoli 5-8 minutes in advance. For additional crisp/crunchy pieces, you could broil the veggies for a minute or two right at the end, to your desired level.
For slightly more tender-crisp results, you can add a tablespoon or two of water to the bottom of the basket. It will steam the florets as they cook while still allowing them to crisp up somewhat.
