Notes

  1. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Mushrooms cook more evenly when arranged in a single layer.
  2. Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even browning.
  3. Smaller mushrooms can be left whole, while larger ones should be cut into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Non-vegans may add grated Parmesan cheese during the last minute of cooking for extra flavor.
  5. Toss with balsamic vinegar after cooking for a delicious, tangy finish.
  6. Add a pinch of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes for a smoky or spicy variation.
  7. For a garlic lover's version, add freshly minced garlic cloves along with the seasonings.
  8. For an Asian-inspired version, add a splash of soy sauce or coconut aminos before air frying.
  9. If you like crispy edges, cook the mushrooms for an extra minute or two.
  10. Experiment with different herbs and spices to create different flavors every time you make them.
  11. The cooking time may slightly vary depending on the size of your air fryer.
