Directions
- Start by cleaning the mushrooms under cold running water. Pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the cleaned mushrooms with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the mushrooms are evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for optimum cooking.
- Arrange the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. This ensures they cook evenly.
- Cook the mushrooms for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning. They should be tender and golden when done.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley for that extra pop of color and flavor.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: Substitute olive oil with melted butter or avocado oil for a different flavor profile. You can replace garlic powder and onion powder with fresh minced garlic and shallots for a punchier taste.
- Optional variations: Add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of balsamic glaze just before serving for added flavor. You can also toss in a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
