Ingredients

2-3 pieces broccoli stalks about 400 grams
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp arrowroot
pepper and salt
3 tbsp parmesan cheese grated

Spicy mayonnaise

3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp sriracha sauce

Instructions

First, peel the broccoli stems so that the tough outer skin is removed. Then cut them into thin - fry-like - strips.
2-3 pieces broccoli stalks
Place the broccoli fries in a bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Shake briefly so it is well distributed over the broccoli.
1 tbsp olive oil
Mix the arrowroot with the garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and salt. Sprinkle this over the fries along with the parmesan cheese. Shake well again.
1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp arrowroot, pepper and salt, 3 tbsp parmesan cheese grated
Place them in a single row in the bowl of the airfryer and bake at 200˚C for 8 minutes. Depending on the thickness of your fries, they may need an additional 1-2 minutes. Check in between if necessary. With me, actually all sizes were cooked.
Make a sauce by mixing the mayonnaise with the sriracha and serve as a dip with them.
3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp sriracha sauce

Notes

Storage: You can store the uncooked broccoli stalks in the fridge for 2-3 days. Once baked in the air fryer eat right away.
