    Ingredients

    ingredients for air fryer breaded mushrooms.

    Mushrooms: Any type of mushrooms can be used in this recipe but smaller the better. I use cremini mushrooms but feel free to use white button mushrooms or Baby Bellas.

    Egg: You need one or two eggs depending on the amount of mushrooms used. Start with one egg and add another if needed. Egg will make the breadcrumbs stick to the mushrooms. You can also use a batter instead of egg to make battered mushrooms.

    Flour: All purpose flour helps absorb excess moisture from mushrooms to prevent them becoming soggy.

    Breadcrumbs: Plain bread crumbs or panko bread crumbs. You can choose either based on your personal preference. I used plain.

    Parmesan Cheese: Adds flavor to the breadcrumbs.

    Seasoning: I used a mix of Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper to season the mushrooms.

    How To Clean Mushrooms

    Before we go to the recipe, I thought a quick note on how to clean mushrooms would be helpful to you. Unless there's a lot of dirt avoid washing mushrooms as they will release water when cooked.

    1. Start by brushing off any visible dirt or debris from the mushrooms using a soft-bristled brush , damp paper towel or cloth.
    2. If the mushrooms are particularly dirty, you can rinse them quickly under cold running water. Be careful not to soak them as mushrooms are porous and can absorb water, which can affect their texture and taste.
    3. Once you've rinsed the mushrooms, gently pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Avoid rubbing them too hard as this can damage their delicate texture.

    Prep mushrooms: Once you've cleaned the mushrooms, cut them in half or quarters. If the stem is too long you can cut the end with a sharp knife. For smaller mushrooms, you can leave them whole.

    Assemble: In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Beat the egg in a separate bowl. Make a breading station with mushrooms, flour, egg and the breadcrumbs mixture.

    Bread mushrooms: Dip each mushroom in flour, then egg and in the bread crumb mixture. Place the breaded mushrooms in a baking sheet.

    Air fry: Preheat air fryer to 390 degrees F. Place the breaded mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray mushrooms with olive oil cooking spray for best results. Working in batches, Air fry breaded mushrooms for 5 minutes. Flip the mushrooms and air fry for another 3 minutes until golden brown.

    *Air fryers come in different sizes and models, and you may need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.

    Tip: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper for easy clean up.

    Remove the crispy breaded mushrooms from Air fryer and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

    Tip: You can keep the mushrooms warm in a heated oven. Or after air frying the last batch, place all the mushrooms back in the air fryer and warm it up for a minute or two.

    Substitutions and Variations

    This recipe is versatile and caters to your tastes and dietary needs.

    You can experiment with different seasonings if you prefer. Add onion powder, cayenne pepper for more heat and flavor. Instead of Italian seasoning you can use ranch seasoning or some taco or fajita seasoning.

    To make this recipe gluten free, use rice flour and gluten free breadcrumbs.

    For low carb and keto diets, skip the flour and use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs.

    How To Serve

    These air fried mushrooms are good on their own but I like to serve them with the following for more deliciousness:

    • Spicy mayo sauce
    • Ranch dip
    • Tzatziki sauce
    • Dill yogurt dip

    You can also add cut cucumbers, carrots, peppers alongside air fry breaded mushrooms as finger food on a platter.

    They also make a perfect side dish with steak, chicken or any main dish.

    How To Store Breaded Mushrooms

    Once cooled, you can store leftover breaded mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

    They can be made a day ahead for a party or a gathering. After breading the mushrooms, cover them with a plastic wrap or place them in air tight container and refrigerate until ready to use.

    If you plan to freeze them, freeze them before air frying them. Place them in a freezer safe bag and keep it in the freezer for 3 months. When ready to use, you can cook the breaded mushrooms from frozen in the air fryer.

    How To Reheat Breaded Mushrooms In Air Fryer

    Air fryer is great for reheating food. Unlike the microwave which tends make food soggy, foods reheated in the air fryer come out crispy and fresh.

    To reheat these breaded mushrooms in the air fryer, air fry them at 380˚F for 2 to 3 minutes until warm and crispy. Make sure you don't reheat them in high temperature or for too long.
