Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.
To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave.
To Freeze: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave.
Tip 1: You can use an air fryer liner for easier cleanup. You may need to increase cooking time slightly if you use this.
Tip 2: It is important to have equal sized florets and stems when cooking in the air fryer, so cut some down if necessary.
Tip 3: While this is great as a side, you can also mix this air fryer broccolini into a salad or rice/quinoa bowl.
