Preheat the air fryer and prepare the broccoliBefore you start cooking, you need to preheat the air fryer to 375°F. This will ensure that the broccoli cooks evenly and quickly. While the air fryer is heating up, you can wash and dry the broccoli florets. Cut off any excess stems and chop the florets into bite-sized pieces. Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Make sure that every piece is well coated with the seasoning. |

Air fry the broccoliOnce the air fryer is ready, spray the basket with some cooking spray or oil. This will prevent the broccoli from sticking to the basket. Arrange the broccoli in a single layer in the basket, leaving some space between them for air circulation. You may need to cook the broccoli in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Air fry the broccoli for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even browning. |

Add cheese if desiredIf you want to make your air fryer broccoli even more cheesy and flavorful, you can sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli in the last 2 minutes of cooking. This will melt the cheese and create a nice crust on top of the broccoli. |
