Additional recipe notes
Base seasoning : (aka garlic roasted broccoli) Combine the broccoli with a bit of garlic powder (or minced garlic – but it’s best to use powder for the air fryer roasted broccoli as the garlic may burn) and salt and pepper. Optionally drizzle with a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting. Lemon garlic broccoli : Along with the above, add some lemon zest (only about ½ tsp) to the broccoli. Also, add a little lemon before AND after baking the broccoli. Balsamic roasted broccoli : Add 1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (depending on how strong you want it) to the ‘base seasoning’ option. Vegan ‘parmesan’ broccoli: Add a generous pinch of nutritional yeast and squeeze of lemon to the base roasted broccoli (or lemon garlic broccoli/ balsamic roasted broccoli) to act as the vegan parmesan cheese. A vegan commercial ‘parmesan’ would also work.
