Air Fryer Broccoli and Cauliflower
Air fryer broccoli and cauliflower is quick, easy and ready in just 10 minutes. This healthy air fried broccoli and cauliflower is a great side dish or perfect for snacking. This recipe is vegan, low carb, Whole30 and gluten free.
Be sure to cut the cauliflower florets down so they cook quickly. They can be smaller than the broccoli florets. You can leave the broccoli florets bigger but still want to cut down large bunches.
Coat the broccoli and cauliflower in some oil (olive oil, avocado oil) to help ensure that the spices stick and that they get the right texture in the air fryer (broccoli slightly crispy, cauliflower starting to roast and caramelized).
Use whatever spices you love and have on hand. Change the flavor profile of this dish by changing out the spices you use. See a list of ideas below.
Don't overcrowd the basket. I would recommend cooking just 1 bag (about 10-16 oz bag) at once. If you are going to double the recipe, cook the broccoli and cauliflower in the air fryer in batches or cook it in the oven instead.
Every air fryer is different. Depending on the wattage, how large the basket is and the kind of air fryer you have, the cooking time may vary.
Other spices
Italian - use about 1 teaspoon italian seasoning instead of za'atar

Herbs de provence - use about 1 teaspoon herbs de provence instead of za'atar
Cajun - omit the za'atar seasoning and use 1.5 tsp. cajun seasoning
Sundried tomatoes - omit the za'atar seasoning and use italian seasoning instead. add about 2 tablespoons chopped sundried tomatoes after cooking
Pesto - omit the za'atar seasoning and use italian seasoning instead. add about 2 tablespoons pesto
Spicy - add 1/4-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Smoky - add 1/2 tsp smoked paprika or cumin
Storing leftovers
Fridge: Store leftover air fryer broccoli and cauliflower in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Freezer: Although the leftovers can be frozen, the texture will change when defrosted, so I don’t recommend freezing unless you want to use the leftovers in a soup or frittata.
