Additional recipe notes
Nutrition information is for half the batch. This is just an estimate, and not a guarantee. If you’d like to cook frozen broccoli in the air fryer, you’ll need to thaw it for 360ºF for 5 minutes first. Then add the seasoning, and return to the air fryer to cook at 360ºF for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
