Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh broccoli florets 450 g
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • lemon wedges to serve

Method
 

  1. Wash broccoli, cut into even florets and pat completely dry.
  2. Beat eggs in one bowl. Mix panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, pepper and salt in another.
  3. Dip each floret in egg, let excess drip off, then press into the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Arrange in one layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray with oil. Work in batches if needed.
  5. Air fry at 375°F (190°C), checking during an estimated 8–12 minutes and turning halfway, until golden and tender.
  6. Serve warm with lemon wedges and your preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

Estimated 8–12 minutes per batch at 375°F (190°C); adjust to your air fryer and floret size.
