Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh broccoli florets
  • 1.5 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 fresh lemon, juiced
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the florets. Cut 1 lb of fresh broccoli into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
  2. Dry thoroughly. Pat the broccoli with a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Mix seasonings. Combine 1.5 tbsp avocado oil, salt, pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder in a large bowl.
  4. Coat the broccoli. Toss the florets in the oil mixture until every surface is glossy and coated.
  5. Preheat the fryer. Set your machine to 400°F for 3 minutes.
  6. Arrange the basket. Place the broccoli in the basket, keeping it in a single layer if possible.
  7. Initial roast. Cook at 400°F for 4 minutes until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
  8. The shake. Use your tongs or shake the basket vigorously to redistribute the florets.
  9. Final roast. Cook for another 4 minutes until the tips are charred and the stems are fork tender.
  10. The finish. Remove from heat and immediately toss with 2 tbsp parmesan and lemon juice.
