Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 slices uncooked bacon
- 4 cups broccoli florets cut to uniform size
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place bacon in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for about 6-8 minutes or until crisp.
- While bacon is cooking, place broccoli in a large bowl.
- Once bacon is crisped, remove from the air fryer and set aside. You should have about 2 tablespoons bacon grease in the bottom of the air fryer.

- Place the broccoli in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 8-10 minutes or until tender crisp.

- Preheat the air fryer so the hot air seals the outside of the food making it deliciously crisp.
- Do not overcrowd the basket and shake or toss broccoli halfway through cooking.
- Do not over cook the broccoli.
