Ingredients

1 8 oz. package Portobello mushrooms Baby Bella variety
½ cup flour
3 eggs
1½ cups Panko breadcrumbs
1½ tsp. garlic powder
1½ tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
¼ tsp. salt and pepper adjust to taste
olive oil spray

Instructions

Wipe any excess dirt from one 8 oz. package of 'Baby Bella' Portobello mushrooms using a towel. Cut each mushroom into quarters and then cut each piece in half again (each mushroom will equal 8 pieces).
Pour ½ cup flour onto a plate. Separately, whisk 3 eggs in a bowl.
In a second bowl, pour 1½ cups Panko breadcrumbs, along with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Stir until the breadcrumbs are completely combined with the seasoning.
Toss chopped mushrooms in the flour until coated, then dunk in the eggs. Finally, toss them in the spiced breadcrumb mixture until completely coated. Repeat to coat all mushrooms.
Arrange the mushrooms on a plate or flat surface. Spray lightly with a can of olive oil - do not spray directly in the air fryer basket.
Arrange ⅓ of the mushrooms in the Air Fryer basket. Cook for 7 minutes at 360°F. Cook mushrooms in batches to avoid over-crowding the air fryer.
Sprinkle with a little more salt after removing from the fryer, and serve immediately. Can be enjoyed alone or with any variety of dipping sauces like buttermilk ranch or blue cheese!

Notes

RECIPE TIP: It's important to use oil with a high smoking point such as extra light olive oil, avocado, or grapeseed oil. Do not use a non-stick spray such as Pam.
