Ingredients
Air Fryer Broccoli
- 12 onces broccoli, cut into size of your choice I used bagged, precut broccoli heads for convenience
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp salt
Gochujang Peanut Sauce
- 1 tbsp Gochujang
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 2 1/2 tsp sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 tbsp peanut powder can substitute peanut butter, but sauce will no longer be low fat
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1 1/2 tsp corn starch
Instructions
Air Fry the Broccoli
- Preheat air fryer to 350℉. If you do not have a preheat setting, just turn you air fryer on for 5 minutes before using
- Cut broccoli to size desired. I like to cut mine into big-bite-sized pieces
- Drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1/8 tsp of salt on the broccoli and mix until evenly coated
- Place broccoli in the preheated air fryer and cook for 10 minutes. Stir at the half way mark.
- While the broccoli is cooking, use your time wisely and prep your Gochujang peanut sauce.
Gochujang Peanut Sauce
- In a sauce pan, combine 1 tbsp Gochujang, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tsp soy sauce, 2 tsp sugar, 3 cloves of chopped fresh garlic, 1 inch of grated fresh ginger, and 1 1/2 cups of water. Do not add the corn starch, peanut powder or lime yet!
- Cook over medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally
- At the 8 minute mark, add 1 1/2 tsp corn starch, 2 tbsp peanut powder, and juice from 1/2 a lime. Mix until evenly combined. Cook of one more minute.You need to mix the corn starch quickly and vigorously so it does not clump!
- Remove sauce from heat
Put it all together
- Once the air fryer broccoli and Gochujang sauce have been made, it's time to put everything together!
- Simply plate broccoli and top with Gochujang Peanut Sauce. Serve and enjoy!
