How To Cook Mushrooms In An Air Fryer
Step 1
Start by cleaning the mushrooms and cutting them into evenly thick slices. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
Step 2
In a bowl, season the mushrooms with olive oil, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well to ensure that the mushrooms are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 3
Place the seasoned mushrooms in the air fryer basket and cook at 350° F for 10 minutes. Make sure to shake the basket halfway through.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, open the air fryer basket and check whether the mushrooms have reached the desired cooking level. If they need more time, simply continue cooking them for a few more minutes until they are cooked to your liking.
Recipe Tips
- Choose the right mushrooms: White button mushrooms and cremini mushrooms are the best mushrooms for air frying. They are readily available, affordable, and have a meaty texture that makes them perfect for air frying.
- Clean the mushrooms properly: Make sure to clean the mushrooms thoroughly before cooking. Wipe them with a damp cloth or rinse them under running water and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket: Overcrowding the air fryer basket can result in uneven cooking. Spread the mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each mushroom.
- Shake the basket: Shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking process to ensure even cooking.
- Serve immediately: Air fryer mushrooms are best served immediately after cooking. They tend to lose their crispiness if left to sit for too long.
FAQ
Yes, you can make mushrooms in an air fryer without using oil. However, you will need to add some other type of liquid to the mushrooms to prevent them from drying out. One option is to use a marinade or sauce to coat the mushrooms before air frying them.
The best way to season mushrooms for air frying is to keep it simple. Mushrooms have a delicate flavor that can easily be overwhelmed by too many spices or seasonings. A sprinkle of salt, pepper and parsley is usually all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the mushrooms.
