Preheat the air fryer to 350℉ for 2-3 minutes.
Cut the broccoli into florets, making sure they are similar in size for even cooking. In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Arrange the seasoned broccoli in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches depending on e size of your air fryer.
Place the basket into the air fryer and cook the broccoli for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the broccoli is tender. Halfway through cooking, shake the basket or use tongs to toss the broccoli for even browning.
Garnish with chili flakes or your favorite garnish, and serve.

To ensure even cooking, cut the broccoli into uniform florets. This helps them roast at the same rate, preventing some pieces from becoming overcooked while others remain underdone.
Preheat the air fryer before adding the broccoli. This will help ensure that the broccoli cooks evenly and quickly.
Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, as this can lead to steaming instead of roasting. If you have a large batch, cook the broccoli in two separate batches.
Check the broccoli for doneness before removing it from the air fryer. The broccoli should be tender and slightly crisp.
