Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound cremini or white button mushrooms, cleaned and halved
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the mushrooms.
- Season the mushrooms: In a large bowl, toss the halved mushrooms with olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Cook the mushrooms: Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even crispness and tenderness.
- Serve and garnish: Transfer the cooked mushrooms to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve hot as a flavorful side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
- You can use whole small mushrooms instead of halved ones; just increase the cooking time by a few minutes to ensure they cook through.
