Ingredients for Air fryer Mushrooms
Mushrooms: I have used button mushrooms. You can use baby bellas too.
Seasoning: Use pepper, minced garlic and soy sauce to marinate the mushrooms.
Garnish: Finely chopped herbs like cilantro or dill taste delicious. Also sprinkle with lemon juice.
Stepwise Pictures
Clean the mushrooms. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the dirt. Keep aside and cut into slices, quarters or halves.
Mix together extra virgin olive oil/melted vegan 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/vegan butter from initial marination.
Serve hot as a delicious side.

Notes
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.

Do you use baking paper. My air fryer only has a mesh basket.
Rachna says
Yes, I do use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent food from sticking to the mesh basket.
