Tips:

  • Choose the right type of broccoli: For this recipe, it's best to use fresh, firm broccoli florets. Avoid using frozen or wilted broccoli, as it will not hold its shape well in the cups.
  • Chop the broccoli florets evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the air fryer. Aim for florets that are about 1-inch in size.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer: Make sure to leave enough space between the broccoli florets so that they can cook evenly. If you overcrowd the air fryer, the broccoli will not get crispy.
  • Cook the broccoli until it is tender-crisp: This usually takes about 10-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the florets. You can check if the broccoli is done by piercing it with a fork. It should be tender, but still have a slight crunch to it.
  • Use a good quality parmesan cheese: The parmesan cheese is one of the key ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a parmesan cheese that is aged for at least 12 months.
  • Serve the broccoli parmesan cups immediately: These cups are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer. They will start to soften as they cool, so it's best to eat them right away.

Conclusion:

These broccoli parmesan cups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a healthy snack. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and nutritious dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give these broccoli parmesan cups a try. You won't be disappointed!
