Ingredients
1 pound button mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Pinch of white or black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 5 minutes while preparing the mushrooms.
Prepare the Mushrooms: Wash and dry the mushrooms properly to remove any excess moisture. Trim large mushrooms by cutting them into 2-4 pieces, then transfer all mushrooms to a large mixing bowl.
Season the Mushrooms: Add olive oil, salt, granulated garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of white or black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat the mushrooms with the seasoning.
Air Fry the Mushrooms: Place the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 390°F for 10 minutes.
Shake and Continue Cooking: After 10 minutes, open the air fryer basket, shake it well, and stir the mushrooms to redistribute them evenly. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Serve: Once the mushrooms are golden and tender, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately. Enjoy as a side dish, appetizer, or topping for your favorite meal.
Notes
“For the best results, choose firm, blemish-free mushrooms.”
“Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel rather than running water to avoid absorbing excess moisture.”
“Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Cook in a single layer for even cooking and crispy mushrooms.”
“Toss the mushrooms halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness on all sides.”
“Experiment with seasonings like cumin, chili flakes, or fresh herbs to customize the flavor.”
“These mushrooms are best served fresh but can be stored and reheated in the air fryer.”
