I think frozen veggies work better than fresh in the air fryer

Everyone always says fresh is better, but I tried frozen broccoli at 380 for 8 minutes and it came out way crispier than fresh ever did. The ice crystals create steam that cooks it through without burning the outside. Has anyone else had better luck with frozen over fresh for certain stuff?

Frozen corn gets a weirdly perfect charred pop in the air fryer that fresh just can't match.

Honestly, I get what you're saying but I think the real trick is tossing them in a little butter and garlic powder before they go in. Tbh I used to just throw frozen corn in a pan and it'd get all mushy and sad. Ngl the first time I tried it in the air fryer I was shocked how it actually pops and gets these little crispy bits. It's like the cold air hits them differently and they kind of explode in a good way. Now I can't even look at boiled corn the same way.
