- 1 pound of mushrooms (such as button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray (for the air fryer basket)
Instructions:
- Clean the mushrooms: Start by cleaning the mushrooms. You can do this by wiping them with a damp paper towel or gently rinsing them and patting them dry. Remove the stems if desired.
- Prepare the coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Coat the mushrooms: Toss the clean mushrooms in the olive oil to coat them evenly. Then, roll each mushroom in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure the coating sticks.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange the mushrooms: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the coated mushrooms in a single layer in the basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches if your air fryer is small.
- Air fry the mushrooms: Cook the mushrooms at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to shake the basket or flip the mushrooms halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
- Serve: Once the mushrooms are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. You can serve them with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as marinara sauce or ranch dressing.
