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: Rinse the mushrooms under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Trim the stems if necessary to ensure even cooking.
- Season the mushrooms: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, granulated garlic, paprika, dried Italian seasoning, and a pinch of white or black pepper. Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry the mushrooms: Place the seasoned mushrooms evenly in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Serve: Once cooked through and golden, carefully remove the mushrooms from the air fryer. Serve warm as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure mushrooms cook evenly and become crispy.
- You can substitute button mushrooms with cremini or baby bella mushrooms for a deeper flavor.
- Adjust seasonings to taste, adding more garlic or paprika if desired.
- Leftover mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat mushrooms in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
