These savory air fryer mushrooms are incredibly delicious, healthy, and easy to make in JUST 15 minutes. Cooking mushrooms in the air fryer is the best way to enjoy their nutritional goodness and the perfect appetizer or side dish with only 2 ingredients required.
Toss the mushrooms with olive oil, pepper, and salt until thoroughly coated.
Place the mushrooms in the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap so the air can circulate freely.
There's no need to preheat the air fryer, just set it to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) and cook mushrooms for 10 minutes.
Remove and serve immediately.
Garnish suggestions: Freshly chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Recipe Notes
Cut the mushrooms the same size to avoid uneven cooking.
Turn the mushrooms or shake the air fryer basket halfway to produce evenly crisp mushrooms.
Cook more batches rather than overlapping the mushrooms in 1 single basket. You need to leave enough room between the mushrooms so that the hot air circulates freely.
Depending on your air fryer model, you may need to adjust the cooking time. Check the mushrooms after 10 minutes to see if they are crispy - if not, cook for another 5 minutes.
