Equipment

  • air fryer

Instructions

  • Wash, then pat dry the broccoli and cauliflower florets. If using heads of broccoli and cauliflower, wash it first, then pat dry before cutting into florets, about 1-inch bite-size.

  • In a medium-sized bowl with broccoli and cauliflower, pour the butter-oil mixture with the spices. Toss or cover the bowl with a plate, then shake until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Cook for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated air fryer at 400°F or until lightly charred and tender but still crisp.
  • Toss with grated and shaved parmesan before serving.
