Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 16 oz whole cremini or white mushrooms, cleaned and halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F to ensure it’s hot and ready to cook the mushrooms evenly and crisp up their edges.
- Prepare the mushrooms: In a large bowl, toss the halved mushrooms with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until all mushrooms are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange mushrooms in the air fryer: Place the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Air fry the mushrooms: Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure all sides get golden brown and tender.
- Serve: Remove the mushrooms and serve warm, optionally garnished with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness and color.
Notes
- Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or sprinkle Parmesan cheese just before serving for extra depth of flavor.
- Using sliced mushrooms instead of halved ones shortens cooking time.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure mushrooms crisp evenly and don’t steam.
