Ingredients for Air fryer Mushrooms

1. Button mushrooms
2. Butter or Extra virgin olive oil
3. Pepper
4. Minced garlic or garlic powder
5. Soy sauce
6. Lemon juice
7. Garnishes like chopped cilantro leaves or parsley

Variations

This recipe is already vegetarian.

Just use extra virgin olive oil in case you are vegan. I preferred it to using vegan butter. It is also low calorie and rich in flavour.

Stepwise Pictures

Clean the mushrooms. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the dirt or wash in a colander under running water. Keep aside and cut into slices, quarters or halves.

Mix together extra virgin olive oil/melted butter with minced garlic or garlic powder, pepper and soy sauce.

Toss the mushrooms in this and immediately put for air frying.

Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 4 minutes.

Place the mushrooms in one layer in the air fryer.

Air fry for about 4-6 minutes at 180C or 360F for slices and slightly longer for halves or whole mushrooms till nicely cooked.

The mushrooms turn crispy and shrink slightly in size. The thinner you slice them, the faster they cook.

Garnish with lemon juice and chopped cilantro leaves.

Healthier version: Skip olive oil/butter from initial marination.

Serve hot as a delicious side.

Notes

1. Use fresh mushrooms that are plump and do not have brown spots or look shrivelled and old. You could use baby bellas too.
2. The thinner you slice the mushroom, the faster they will cook.
3. Don’t soak them in water while cleaning or they absorb a lot of water.
4. You can use extra virgin olive oil in place of butter if you are vegan.
5. The recipe uses very few ingredients but is really delicious and healthy.

6. These are best served hot. 

7. Healthy version: Skip oil/butter and just use seasonings with soy sauce for marination.

8. Do not marinate the mushrooms for very long before air frying or else they get soggy. Just add the marinade and keep your air fryer preheated so you can air fry right away.
