Ingredients

4 portobello mushrooms

Marinade

1.5 tsp. Extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. Soy sauce
1 tsp. Apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar
¼ tsp. Salt
½ tsp. Italian seasoning
½ tsp. Cayenne optional
½ tsp. Pepper
½ tsp. Garlic powder

Garnish

1 tsp. cilantro or parsley chopped

Instructions

Clean each portobello mushroom by using a damp cloth or paper napkin and wiping with it on both sides.
Set aside.
Mix together the marinade ingredients. Add oil, soy sauce, vinegar along with the spices and mix well.
Using a brush apply the marinade on both sides of the portobello mushrooms.
Meanwhile, pre heat air fryer at 360F or 180C for 4 minutes.
Carefully place the mushrooms with their gills side facing up in the air fryer. I could fit four in mine.
Air fry for about 6 minutes till the mushrooms are cooked.
There is no need to flip them during the air frying time.
Since I had one portobello mushroom that was smaller than the other three. I removed it after 5 minutes of air frying time as it was perfectly done.
The others were cooked for a minute more.
Carefully take them out in a plate and serve hot after garnishing with chopped cilantro or parsley.
You can also slice them and serve or use them in wraps or burgers.
This is a winner recipe and you would love to make it again.

Notes

1. Never wash portobello mushrooms under running water. They will absorb a lot of water and will be very watery when cooked. I used a damp paper towel to wipe it both sides.
2. You can choose to remove the stalks and only cook the caps. I sometimes trim the stalk and use. Same applies to gills. Some people scrape them out with a spoon. I leave them there and always have.
3. There is no need to marinate the mushrooms. Just brush the marinade on both sides and air fryer right away.
4. After air frying, the mushrooms stay so meaty yet juicy. It’s a delight to eat them.
5. You can vary the marinade as per taste. Use spice rubs or herbs as per choice.
