Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces broccoli florets
  • 12 ounces cauliflower florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice and seasonings.
  • In a large mixing bowl (preferably one with a lid, but it's not totally necessary), add in the chopped broccoli and cauliflower florets. Make sure the florets are all about the same size.
  • Pour the oil mixture over the broccoli and cauliflower. If you have a lid, place it on the bowl and shake well to combine. If your bowl does not have a lid, set a plate on top of the bowl and, while firmly holding the plate and bowl pushed together, carefully shake to evenly combine.
  • In the basket of an air fryer, place the florets in an even layer, without overcrowding with too many pieces. I have to do this in about 2 batches with my air fryer.
  • Set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for about 8 to 9 minutes. Stop and toss the florets halfway through cooking (at about 4 minutes in). When you make your second batch, if your air fryer is still hot, you may not cook it for a full 8 to 9 minutes. Toss the florets at about 3 minutes in and then check on it at about 6 to 7 minutes in, then cook longer to your liking.
  • Enjoy!
