Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic and onion seasoning
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix
  • 8 ounces portobello mushroom caps, cleaned
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Air Fryer Setup: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to prepare for any finishing or warming if needed. Ensure your air fryer is ready for cooking.
  2. Prepare Breading Station: Set up four shallow dishes for the breading process. Pour milk into the first dish. In the second dish, combine all-purpose flour with garlic and onion seasoning. Place ranch dressing in the third dish. Mix panko bread crumbs with dry ranch dressing mix in the fourth dish.
  3. Bread the Mushrooms: Dip each cleaned portobello mushroom cap first into the milk to moisten it, then dredge it in the seasoned flour while shaking off any excess. Next, dip the mushroom into the ranch dressing, ensuring full coverage. Finally, coat it with the panko and dry ranch dressing mixture for a crispy crust.
  4. Prepare for Air Frying: Arrange the breaded mushrooms in a shallow air fryer pan or directly in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray them lightly with nonstick cooking spray to promote crispiness and even browning.
  5. Air Fry Mushrooms: Cook the breaded mushrooms in the air fryer at 400 degrees F for about 7 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crisp on the outside. Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  6. Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the air fryer and serve immediately to enjoy their optimal crispy texture and delicious flavor.
