Your Air Fryer Makes Delicious Roasted Broccoli With Cheese Sauce
Believe it or not, your air fryer has more than one superpower. In addition to delivering crispiness without loads of fat, it also delivers crunchy roasted broccoli that doesn’t turn that oh-so-unappealing army green color. And what’s broccoli without cheese sauce? This creamy delight is easy to make ahead—just reheat it right before serving. If you can’t find ají amarillo paste at your local store, get it on Amazon, or if you like, stir in harissa or a spicy salsa instead. For a complete meal, pair this side with our recipe for air fryer roasted salmon with fennel salad, pictured.
