Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 16 oz baby bella or white mushrooms, cleaned and halved if large
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F to prepare it for cooking the mushrooms evenly and quickly.
- Toss the mushrooms: In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and soy sauce or tamari. Toss well to coat all mushrooms evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Spread the mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Air fry the mushrooms: Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and tender texture.
- Serve: Remove the mushrooms once tender and slightly crispy around the edges. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice just before serving to brighten the dish.
- These air fryer mushrooms pair beautifully with grilled meats, pasta, or as a savory topping for toast.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce to keep the recipe gluten-free.
