In a large bowl, add the broccoli florets. Add the avocado oil and seasonings. Toss them well, so they are all coated with the seasoning.
Transfer the seasoned broccoli to the air fryer basket and spread in a single layer. Set the air fryer to 380°F (cook in batches if needed).
Air fry for 6-9 minutes for the perfect texture. Shake the basket half way through. (Preheating is not required. The cooking time includes preheating time). For extra crispy broccoli, add 1-2 minutes.
Serve and enjoy broccoli. Optionally, sprinkle some lime juice and some freshly grated parmesan.
In Oven
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Transfer the broccoli to a large sheet pan. You can also add the olive oil and seasonsings on the sheet pan.
Spread evenly so they do not overlap. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring once half way through.

Notes
Tips to cook broccoli in the air fryer:
Separate the florets or cut into even-sized pieces, as this helps the broccoli to cook well.
Do not overcrowd in the air fryer basket. Preferably spread the broccoli in a single layer. Cook in batches if needed.
Serve right way after cooking, for the best texture!
More seasoning options:
Toss the broccoli in some balsamic vinegar along with the seasonings.
Try other seasoning options like onion powder, cumin powder, paprika, or red chili flakes if you like a spicier taste.
Give your roasted broccoli an Indian twist by adding cumin powder, turmeric powder, and some garam masala as seasoning.
You can also try taco seasoning or sprinkle Trader Joe's chili lime seasoning at the end.
Frozen Broccoli cooks just as well. It will just not get as crispy as fresh broccoli. Use the same method and add 1-2 minutes to the cooking time.
