Crispy, flavorful air fryer mushrooms seasoned with garlic, herbs, and smoked paprika. A quick and healthy side dish or snack that’s easy to prepare and packed with savory goodness.

Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 16 oz whole button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed

Seasoning

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Clean Mushrooms: Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel and pat them dry thoroughly to remove any dirt and moisture for better crisping.
  2. Season Mushrooms: In a mixing bowl, toss the mushrooms with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, smoked paprika, and salt and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3–5 minutes to ensure an even cooking temperature.
  4. Arrange Mushrooms: Place the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow hot air circulation and even cooking.
  5. Cook Mushrooms: Air fry the mushrooms for 10–12 minutes, shaking or flipping the basket halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Notes

  • Ensure mushrooms are dry before seasoning to achieve a crisp texture.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste for spicier or milder flavor.
  • Use cremini mushrooms for a richer, earthier flavor compared to button mushrooms.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer.
