Air fryer Mushrooms

These air fried garlic pepper mushrooms are made using button mushrooms that are commonly available. This is a quick and easy mushroom appetizer that serves as an excellent side as well.

I love eating stir fried veggies. With the air fryer, they are done very quickly and are very flavorful.

These mushrooms just needed a good brushing of melted butter/olive oil with chopped garlic and pepper. They are so delicious when done. Try it as a side or a snack.

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

Clean the mushrooms. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the dirt. Keep aside and cut into quarters or halves.

Mix together melted butter/extra virgin olive oil with garlic, pepper and salt. Generously apply all over the mushrooms.

Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 5 minutes.

Place the mushrooms in one layer in the air fryer.

Air fry for about 8-10 minutes at 180C or 360F 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.

Serve hot as a delicious side.
