Ridiculously Good Air Fryer Broccoli
Crunchy air‑fried broccoli florets with blistered edges, tossed in a tangy garlic‑lemon dressing. Simple, vibrant, and addictive—perfect as a healthy side or snack to elevate any meal.
Ingredients:
- one 12-ounce bag broccoli florets (or, one head of broccoli cut into about 3 cups of florets)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1–2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Directions:
- Prep The Broccoli: Place florets in a bowl. Add water, oil, and salt. Break into bite-sized pieces and massage gently for 30-60 seconds, until the broccoli turns a slightly brighter green. You want to get it to drink up some of that water and oil mixture a bit!
- Cook: Add broccoli to your air fryer. (There will still be a bit of water left over in the bowl; that’s fine.) Air fry at 350 for 5 minutes; give it a quick shake. It should look bright green, like steamed broccoli.
- Crisp It Up: Air fry at 375 for another 2 minutes. Now it should start to look browned, crisped, and roasty toasty. (You can adjust the time and temp to get your desired level of crispness).
- Finish: You’re done! Yum! It’s fluffy and tender, but crisped and browned at the same time. I love this with a dipping sauce or just sprinkled with a bit of Parmesan.

Scallops with Lemon-Basil Sauce
Large sea scallops are great for a fast and filling protein source any night of the week. They can be seared or sautéed and then added to salads and pastas or served solo as an entrée. Their mild taste and universal appeal make them a good host for complex flavors. Look for dry-packed sea scallops at your local seafood market. They haven't been soaked in a liquid solution, which increases their weight and sodium content.
