Ingredients:
- 1 pound (about 450g) mushrooms, cleaned and halved or quartered, depending on size
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
- Prepare the Mushrooms: In a large bowl, toss the cleaned and halved mushrooms with olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Ensure the mushrooms are well coated with the seasonings.
- Air Fry: Place the seasoned mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
- Cooking Time: Cook the mushrooms in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, shaking or stirring halfway through the cooking time. The exact time may vary based on the size and type of mushrooms, so keep an eye on them and adjust accordingly.
- Check for Doneness: The mushrooms are done when they are golden brown and tender. If needed, you can cook them for an additional few minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, transfer the air-fried mushrooms to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve Warm: Serve the air-fried mushrooms as a side dish, appetizer, or even as a topping for salads or pasta.
