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)
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3–5 minutes to ensure an even cooking temperature.
- Arrange Mushrooms: Place the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow hot air circulation and even cooking.
- 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.
- 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.
