Frozen broccoli = soggy broccoli in most air fryers because people thaw it first. Stop. The ice crystals are the secret — they flash to steam on contact and dehydrate the florets.400°F, no preheat, 12–13 minutes, shake at 7. One short spray of oil at the 10-minute mark, not the start — the oil needs dry florets to cling to. Salt and pepper at the end.Cross-tested on Green Giant, Birds Eye, and store-brand. All hit the same crispy-tip / charred-edge result. Add parmesan at 11 minutes if you want the crispy-cheese finish.
