Just learned frozen broccoli is garbage in an air fryer unless you oil it right

So I was watching a cooking channel on YouTube last night and the host did a test with frozen broccoli in an air fryer. Turns out if you don't toss it in oil before cooking, it comes out dry and burnt on the outside but still frozen in the middle. I've been doing that for months and wondering why my broccoli was nasty. She said to toss it with a tablespoon of oil for every cup of florets, then cook at 375 for 8 minutes. I tried it tonight with a bag from Aldi and it actually came out crispy and good. Has anyone else had better luck with frozen vs fresh veggies in their air fryer?

Yeah man totally agree with matthewperry on the timing, I do 10 minutes at 375 and my frozen broccoli finally comes out right.

I think you actually need closer to 375 for 10 minutes, not 8 lol.
