Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 16 oz cremini or white mushrooms, cleaned and halved
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce or balsamic vinegar (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the Mushrooms: In a large bowl, toss the halved mushrooms with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and soy sauce or balsamic vinegar if using, ensuring they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking when you add the mushrooms.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Place the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook them for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket halfway through to promote even browning and tenderness.
- Finish and Serve: Once the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm as a flavorful side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms just before serving.
- Try using a mix of mushrooms like shiitake or portobello for a more complex flavor and texture.
- These mushrooms pair wonderfully with steak, pasta dishes, or as a savory topping for toast.
