Method: Air-Fryer Cauliflower and Broccoli Basics
We recommend Chew Out Loud's method for air-frying broccoli, which also works well for cauliflower. After washing your cauliflower and broccoli, dry thoroughly and floret your veggies into same-size pieces to ensure an even fry. The smaller the pieces, the crispier they will be. To prevent burning, make sure you add the recommended 1 tbsp of water to the bottom of the air fryer. Air fry for 6 minutes and before you know it you'll be enjoying (or devouring) your air-fried florets! Learn the basics here: Air Fryer Broccoli | Chew Out Loud
