Preheat the air fryer following the default setting. I use Cosori and the default is 400F for 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, add the ingredients from broccoli to lemon pepper seasoning. Toss and combine well.
Pour the florets into the basket and spread them out in a single layer. Some overlap is okay.
Air fryer for 8 minutes, shake the basket and cook for an additional 6 minutes or until the florets are slightly crisp outside with some brown bits. Serve warm, room temperature, or lightly chilled.
Notes
No need to thaw the vegetable. Cook directly from frozen.
Line the basket - I always line a layer of foil paper between the air fryer basket and the tray for easy cleanup.
Coat the oil evenly - I found that coating a thin layer of oil over the broccoli florets helps them crisp up evenly.
Cook time varies - Cooking time and temperature can be different, depending on the brand of the air fryer. I have a Cosori at home.
Flavor variety -
Spicier: toss the florets with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Other flavor suggestions: curry powder, smoked paprika, garlic, and onion powder are all great choices.
