Air frying is my favorite way to cook frozen broccoli bites. It’s so much quicker than making them in the oven – they’re done in just minutes. Plus, they always turn out perfectly crispy and golden.

Frozen broccoli bites, aka broccoli tots, are a delicious snack. Since they are made with broccoli I like to tell myself that they must be healthy, even though they are also stuffed full of mashed potato and cheese 😋.

How to cook frozen broccoli bites in the air fryer

Preheat air fryer to 360°F/180°C. Preheating is not required for all air fryers. However, I have found I tend to get better results using a preheated air fryer when the cooking times are short.
Place the frozen broccoli bites in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Try not to overcrowd them – there needs to be space in between so they will crispy up evenly on all sides.
Air fry the broccoli bites for 7-10 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Flipping them over halfway through the cooking time if needed for your air fryer.
