  3. Step 3: Cook for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Tips & Variations

  • Use cremini or button mushrooms for the best texture and flavor in the air fryer.
  • Swap parmesan for nutritional yeast to make this dish vegan-friendly.
  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Fresh herbs like rosemary or oregano can be used instead of thyme for a different flavor profile.

Storage

Store leftover mushrooms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer or a skillet to maintain their crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use whole mushrooms instead of sliced?

Yes, but cooking times may increase. Whole mushrooms may take 10-12 minutes in the air fryer. Be sure to shake the basket occasionally for even cooking.

Can I prepare this recipe without an air fryer?

You can roast the mushrooms in a conventional oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through. However, the air fryer provides a faster cooking time and crispier texture.
