Reviews
This is genius! Loved them, made them in the air fryer, and added red pepper flakes to the cheese for some kick. Used skinny giry ranch dressing that way it is totally keto-friendly
Absolutely blown away by these broccoli fries. Have a NINJA Foodi 11 in 1 and used the air fryer to get these to a perfect cheesy brown crunchy. Followed the recipe with regards to peeling the stems to get the rough skin off. Tossed with olive oil, Parmesan cheese and truffle salt. Air crisp for 14 minutes, didn’t even have to turn them. Incredible. My new favorite fries because I have a potato sensitivity anyways and these totally satisfy. Plus, they are so good by themselves, no need for a condiment. 5 stars!
I eat a lot of veggies and am always looking for new, tasty ways to prepare them. These broccoli fries are not only delicious but it’s a great way to use up broccoli stalks. Make sure to cut them thin.
We made these right after we watched the show and a couple more times too! As a diabetic I can’t eat regular fries and these are a great substitute. My whole family, 3 teenagers and my mother, love them. The cheese and salt make a great combo! These are a family favorite.
I tried these the day after the show aired. We were having broccoli with dinner, so while dinner was cooking, I made these “fries” (normally I would have thrown the stems away). It was surprising, really, really good. Made it exactly as written
i have been doing this for a long time why not the stems are just as good as the rest
Ok, so I made these to trick my son into eating vegetables (he’s 10). He ate them, no complaints, and the child despises broccoli. So that gets 5 stars. Where I knock it down one star is that it crisps up on the pan side and stays “chewy” on the top side. I made varying lengths and thicknesses. I found that if you lean to the crunchy style fries, cut your stems thinner. I also suggest flipping them after 12 mins and cooking another 10 on the other side. That would ensure “crispy” fries on both sides. Other than that suggestion, I love these! My wife loved them and even my son with particular tastes enjoyed them! So, this one is a keeper!
Absolutely delicious! Don’t skip the flaky salt, it adds a little extra crunchiness. Delicious as written, but I ended up sprinkling a little garlic powder and fresh ground pepper at the end. Also yummy served with ranch dip on the side.
