Description

Crispy, charred-tipped broccoli made in one glass container in about 10 minutes, with a tablespoon of oil and no flipping pan.

Ingredients 

  • 1 large head broccoli, about 1 lb, cut into 1½-inch florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, optional
  • Lemon wedge, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Wash the broccoli and dry it thoroughly — no visible water in the florets.
  • Toss the florets in the glass container with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Set the crisper plate in the container and arrange the broccoli in a single layer.
  • Attach the PowerPod, select AIR FRY, and cook 8 minutes, tossing once at 5 minutes.
  • Switch to MAX CRISP and cook 2–3 minutes until the tips are browned and crisp.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan, squeeze lemon over the top, and serve immediately.

Equipment

  • Ninja Crispi (or Crispi Pro), 4-quart glass container with crisper plate
  • Tongs

Notes

Dry broccoli is the whole game — wet florets steam instead of crisping. Never crowd the container; cook in rounds instead. Store leftovers in the same container with the lid for up to 4 days and reheat on Recrisp for 2–3 minutes rather than microwaving.
