Air Fried Mushrooms Ingredients
- Portobello mushrooms Baby Bella variety
- flour
- eggs
- Panko breadcrumbs
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- smoked paprika
- Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper adjust to taste
- olive oil spray
How to Air Fry Mushrooms
- Pour flour onto a plate. Crack eggs in a bowl and whisk until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper.
- Fully coat the chopped mushrooms in the flour. Then dunk them in the eggs. Finally, toss them in the spiced breadcrumb mixture until they are completely coated. Do this until all are coated.
- Arrange them on a plate or flat surface. Spray them lightly with a little olive oil spray. Remember, don’t use non-stick spray!
- Place a third of the batch in the basket of your air fryer. Then, turn the air fryer on and set the temperature to 360 degrees. Set the timer for 7 minutes.
- Push the basket into the air fryer and let it cook. Once the time is up, remove the basket and place the cooked mushrooms on a plate. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms until the batch is fried. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
Air Fryer Mushroom Recipe Tips
- Use an oil with a high smoke point such as extra light olive oil, avocado oil, or grapeseed oil. Do not use a non-stick spray such as Pam, as the additives in them can damage your fryer.
- Make sure mushrooms are about the same size for even cooking.
- Air fry in 3 batches so they cook evenly. When cooking any food in the air fryer, you have to leave enough room between the contents so the hot air can circulate evenly and brown the entire surface.
- Cook time may vary depending on the size of your Air Fryer. Larger Air Fryers will cook quicker.
Mushrooms in the Air Fryer FAQs
Did you know that one cup of raw mushrooms contains only 15 calories and 2.3 grams of carbohydrates? It’s true! They are a low-calorie, low carbohydrate food.
They are low-calorie sources of fiber, protein, and antioxidants.
How to Clean Mushrooms
Before you cook fried mushrooms in an air fryer, clean them off! This is super easy to do.
Wipe any excess dirt from one 8 oz. package of Baby Bella portobello mushrooms using a paper towel. Do not place the mushrooms in water, just wipe away the dirt.
How to Cut Mushrooms
Pre-sliced mushrooms won’t work well for this recipe as they are usually not cut into the wedges that work best for air frying.
Cut each mushroom into quarters, then cut each piece in half again. 
This means one mushroom will equal 8 pieces.
This is one of my favorite dishes to serve at parties, along with my famous elotes, they are always the hit of the party! My famous strawberry shortcake recipe is the perfect ending to any celebration.
