Helpful Tips Before Cooking This Healthy Side Dish
- Air Fryer Size: If you’re using a smaller air fryer, you may need to cook the broccolini in batches to avoid overcrowding. This ensures even cooking and crispiness.
- Flipping the Broccolini: Remember to flip the broccolini halfway through the cooking time to ensure it cooks evenly on both sides.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with seasonings! Add garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Lemon Juice: Adding lemon juice at the end enhances the flavor, but it’s optional. You can also try a balsamic glaze for a different twist.
- Storing Leftovers: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to retain crispiness.
- Broccolini vs. Broccoli: Broccolini is more tender than regular broccoli, but if you’re using broccoli, you may need to adjust the cook time slightly.
