What You’ll Need To Make This Recipe

Mushrooms – You can use any type of mushroom you like or whatever is on sale! We used white button mushrooms, but you could use crimini, porcini, or baby bella.
Olive oil
Garlic powder
Soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce – If you’re vegan or vegetarian, be sure to use soy sauce as Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies.
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Lemon – Optional, but add a nice citrus burst of flavor.
Parsley

How To Make Air Fryer Mushrooms

Add the mushrooms to a bowl along with the oil, soy sauce or Worcestershire, and seasonings and toss to coat.

Place the mushrooms in air fryer and cook at 380º for about 10-12 minutes. Toss halfway through the cook time.

Squeeze a little lemon juice on top of your mushrooms, if you like, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Top Tips For Making

If you’re using smaller mushrooms (like button or porcini), cut them in half. For larger mushrooms, either quarter them or cut into cubes (like with a portobello).
You can absolutely double or triple this recipe to feed a larger crowd! You can cook a large batch at a time, but shake the air fryer basket more than once while cooking to allow all the mushrooms to cook evenly.
To prepare your mushrooms to cook, cut a thin slice off the bottom of the stem. Use a damp paper towel to wipe off the dirt of each mushroom. You can also rinse the mushrooms and pat them very dry. If you soak them, they will absorb the water and become too moist!

Some of our recipes will be “skinny,” low carb, keto, paleo, dairy free, grain free, gluten free, Whole30, or vegan, and they will be labeled when they qualify for any of these diets.
