Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh broccoli florets, cut into equal 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced fine
  • 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger

Instructions:

  1. Toss the broccoli. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets with avocado oil and salt. Toss them well until every nook and cranny is lightly coated. Note: Over oiling leads to sogginess.
  2. Load the basket. Place the coated broccoli in the air fryer basket. Make sure they aren't packed in too tight; air needs to move to get things crispy.
  3. Start the roast. Set your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Cook for 8-10 minutes.
  4. Shake it up. At the 5 minute mark, pull the basket out and give it a vigorous shake. Wait until you see the edges turning a deep brown before finishing.
  5. Prep the glaze. While the broccoli is roasting, whisk the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in your bowl.
  6. The flash glaze. Immediately after the timer goes off, dump the hot broccoli into the glaze bowl.
  7. Toss and coat. Using tongs, toss the broccoli quickly until the sauce is velvety and evenly distributed.
  8. Serve immediately. The sauce will thicken as it hits the heat, so don't let it sit.
