Unpopular opinion: frozen veggies straight into the air fryer beat fresh ones every time

Frozen broccoli in the air fryer is literally a game changer, it gets all crispy on the outside while staying tender inside and I barely have to do anything. Fresh broccoli always comes out either soggy or burnt for me, no matter how I try to season it. Pre-cut frozen bags save so much time too, just dump and shake. I keep a bag of frozen mixed veggies in the freezer all the time now just for air fryer snacks.

Wait, frozen has more nutrients than fresh? That actually blows my mind a little bit.

oh and the best part nobody talks about is that frozen broccoli actually has MORE nutrients than fresh half the time lol. fresh stuff sits in trucks and grocery stores for days or weeks losing vitamins, but frozen gets flash frozen right after harvest so it locks everything in. also is it just me or does frozen broccoli have way less of that weird bitter taste? i think the freezing process breaks down some of those compounds or something. and you can season it way heavier because the ice crystals help the oil and spices stick better, fresh always just slides right off lol.
