Notes
Expert Tips:
- Cut the broccoli and cauliflower florets the same size to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket so the florets become crispy and tender; work in batches if needed.
- Shake the basket halfway through to encourage the vegetables to cook evenly. My air fryer gives me a helpful notification to remind me.
