Notes
1. Adjust the cooking time based on the size and thickness of the broccoli florets. Thicker florets may require additional cooking time.
2. Feel free to customize the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Add other spices like garlic powder or chili flakes for extra flavor.
3. Be mindful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, as it may lead to uneven cooking. Cook in batches if needed.
