Savory and tender air fryer broccoli that has been cooked to perfection. No preheating and done in under 15 minutes!

A round white bowl sitting on a wood cutting board filled with broccoli florets, sliced mushrooms, and pearl onions. There's a black serving spoon in the bowl as well.

While I was cooking air fryer steak, I wanted a side dish with them.

I let the steak rest under some foil while I cooked them in the air fryer so both would still be hot.

Ingredients

  • Whole Mushrooms – White Capped or Baby Bella Mushrooms All Work
  • Broccoli Florets
  • Pearl Onions
  • Olive Oil
  • Garlic Powder
  • Fresh Thyme
  • Salt

How to Cook Air Fryer Broccoli, Mushrooms, and Onions

A large white bowl with uncooked broccoli, mushrooms, and pearl onions next to a yellow and white napkin.
  • Rinse vegetables and pat dry. Cut large mushrooms into quarters and small mushrooms in half so that they are equally sized and place them in a bowl. Add broccoli and onions.
  • Drizzle olive oil on vegetables. Add minced garlic, thyme, and salt. Stir to coat.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking. Add all vegetables.
