2. Cook in the Air Fryer:

   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Stovetop Method:

   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
   • Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown.

2. Add Garlic:

   • Add the minced garlic, thyme (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, stirring occasionally.

3. Finish and Serve:

   • Once the vegetables are cooked and coated with garlic, transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley and Parmesan if desired.
