Air Fryer Mushrooms are so much easier and healthier to make than sautéed mushrooms, which takes a lot more effort and uses more oil. Plus there is something satisfying about cooking fungi this way. This Air Fryer Mushrooms recipe is the perfect side or topper to any main dish. They have a nice crisp outside, yet are soft and tender on the inside. Mushrooms in the air fryer won’t disappoint. A perfect main dish, enhancer for pasta or a wonderful topper for a beautifully cooked steak.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Mushroom Moisture Magic 💧
Pat mushrooms completely dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming in the air fryer.
Spacing is Key 🍄
Arrange mushrooms in a single layer with slight gaps between each piece to allow hot air circulation and achieve even, crispy results.
Herb Blend Precision 🌿
Create a custom dry rub by mixing dried herbs in equal proportions to balance flavors and ensure consistent seasoning across all mushrooms.
Oil Misting Technique 💨
Use a fine mist of olive oil instead of heavy drizzling to create a light, even coating that promotes crispy texture without soggy spots.
Temperature Sweet Spot 🔥
Cook mushrooms at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure uniform browning and prevent burning.
