Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound button mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Pinch of white or black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Avoid soaking them in water to prevent sogginess.
- Season the Mushrooms: In a large bowl, toss the mushrooms with olive oil, salt, granulated garlic, paprika, dried Italian seasoning, and a pinch of pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air Fry the Mushrooms: Place the seasoned mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow proper air circulation. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking and browning.
- Check Doneness and Serve: Once the mushrooms are tender and have a slight crisp on the edges, remove them from the air fryer. Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure mushrooms crisp up properly.
- You can substitute button mushrooms with cremini or baby bella mushrooms for a deeper flavor.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to taste, especially if you prefer less salt or spiciness.
- Serve these mushrooms hot for the best texture and flavor.
