Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce package) Mushrooms (any variety) halved (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil or preferred oil
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Toss MUSHROOMS with OLIVE OIL, GARLIC POWDER, SALT, and PEPPER.
  • Spread in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Set air fryer anywhere between 380°F to 400°F. Air fry mushrooms 5 minutes, or more, until they reach your preferred texture, shaking the basket as needed.
    Note: My happy place is 5 minutes @ 380°F but yours might be different. By all means, experiment!
  • Transfer mushrooms out of the cooker and serve garnished with PARSLEY.
  • To store, refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Preheating - I don't preheat my 5.8 quart air fryer because it heats so quickly, but I always preheat my larger Instant Omni.
  • Oil - Air fryer mushrooms actually do require oil, but not much! Go easy at first and add more as needed.
  • For crispier mushrooms - Leave ample space between the mushrooms in the AF basket and cook them until they have crisped to your liking, shaking as needed.
  • Temperature setting - Air fried mushrooms thrive anywhere between 380°F to 400°F. The higher temperature cooks them faster, so keep that in mind.
  • How long to air fry mushrooms - Air frying mushrooms can take between 5 to 15 minutes at said temperatures. The actual time will depend on your texture preferences.
  • Shake the basket? - You may not need to shake the basket for every AF recipe. It really depends on how your AF model distributes heat.
