    I air-fried mushrooms and tossed them in melted butter for extra flavor because butter makes everything better, right? These Air fryer mushrooms are a fantastic vegetable side dish and not to mention so healthy with less oil and no frying.

    How To Clean Mushrooms

    There's a debate on whether to wash mushrooms or not. I've always washed mushrooms in the past and for the most part, ended up with soggy mushrooms.

    Then I read an article from a chef about just wiping the mushrooms to get rid of dirt. It made a lot of sense. Unlike old days, mushrooms are grown in greenhouses in hygienic conditions. They also come packed and look very clean with hardly any dirt. So I've opted to just gently brush away any dirt with a kitchen towel.

    If there's a lot of dirt or you choose to wash the mushrooms, rinse them well and let the mushrooms drain in a colander. Pat the mushrooms thoroughly dry with paper towels before prepping them.

    adding the seasoning to the mushrooms.

    Step 1 - Wipe the mushrooms clean with a kitchen towel to remove any dirt. I don't rinse the mushrooms but if you must rinse, drain the mushrooms and dry them thoroughly with paper towels. We don't want soggy and wet mushrooms.

    Step 2 - Cut the mushrooms in half. If they're big, cut into quarters. We want all the pieces the same size. Transfer the mushrooms to a large bowl.

    Step 3 - Add garlic powder, salt and pepper and toss to coat.

    Step 7 - Transfer the air-fried mushrooms to a bowl and drizzle with melted butter. Stir to mix. Serve warm garnished with fresh parsley.

    Tips For Best Air Fryer Mushrooms

    • Cut mushrooms to the same size to cook evenly.
    • Preheat the Air fryer or add extra cooking time.
    • Place the mushrooms in a single layer in the Air fryer basket or tray.

    What To Serve Air Fried Mushrooms With

    These air fryer mushrooms have no breading and they fit into most diets including gluten-free, low carb, keto, vegan and vegetarian. They make a perfect side dish for any meal.

    Serve them with eggs for breakfast or any protein for lunch or dinner.

    They are great on their own as a snack too.

    Storage

    Store leftover mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. Line the container with a paper towel to soak up any moisture.

    Reheat mushrooms in the Air fryer at 360F for a few minutes until warm and crispy.

    Common Questions

    Can I use canned mushrooms?

    Yes, canned mushrooms can be used. Drain the mushrooms and add the seasoning and oil. Skip the salt if the canned mushrooms already contain salt. Proceed with the recipe.

    They won't be as fresh-tasting and juicy as the fresh mushrooms.

    Can I use whole mushrooms?

    Yes, you can use whole mushrooms. Use mushrooms that are similar in size. Clean them and use them in the recipe. Increase the cooking time until they're done.
