Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 1 pound fresh button or cremini mushrooms

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Start by cleaning the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if needed and pat them dry to ensure they crisp up nicely.
  2. Season the Mushrooms: In a large bowl, combine the mushrooms with olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until each mushroom is evenly coated.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 3 minutes. This helps to achieve that perfect crispy texture quickly.
  4. Air Fry the Mushrooms: Place the mushrooms in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once golden and crispy, remove the mushrooms from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve hot for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • Use dry mushrooms: Make sure mushrooms are fully dry before seasoning to help them crisp.
  • Don’t overcrowd the basket: Give mushrooms enough space to allow hot air circulation for even cooking.
  • Adjust timing for size: Larger mushrooms might need an extra minute or two; smaller ones require less.
  • Shake midway: Shaking the basket halfway through air frying prevents soggy spots and promotes uniform crisping.
  • Serve immediately: These mushrooms are best enjoyed right after cooking when they’re at peak crunch and flavor.
