- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Prep the Broccoli: Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and pat dry. Ensure they are cut evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the broccoli florets and toss until well-coated.
- Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the broccoli in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy.
- Add Parmesan: Once cooked, remove the broccoli from the air fryer and immediately sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Toss to combine while the broccoli is still hot, allowing the cheese to melt slightly.
