Mushrooms In Air Fryer
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Spatula
- Bowl
- Plate
Ingredients
- 225 g Cremini/chestnutÂ
- 2 tsp Low-sodium soy sauceÂ
- Desired amount Black pepperÂ
- Desired amount SaltÂ
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oilÂ
- 1 tbsp Spring rosemaryÂ
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients and set utensils on the table before you initiate the recipe. In this way, you can effortlessly cook mushrooms within the given timeframe; otherwise, you will waste your precious time. Do not randomly increase or decrease the amount of any ingredient to preserve its taste.
- When you are done arranging the utensils and ingredients, take a cutting board and knife to chop the mushrooms. People often make slim slices but professional chefs advise slicing mushrooms into thick pieces. Cut each one into half if it is small and slice three to four pieces in case the mushroom size is large.
- Make sure that all sliced mushrooms are the same size and then start mixing seasonings in a bowl. Add soy sauce, oil, salt, and paper and mix them well with the help of a spatula. Add the mushrooms to the seasoning bowl and mix them both for a minute.
- Toss mushrooms and then use a spatula to mix until you are sure that all ingredients are ready to go in the air fryer. Some people preheat the air fryer before cooking mushrooms while others advance forward neglecting the importance of preheating. Turn the air fryer on while you are mixing the ingredients and preheat it at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.
- Use an oil sprayer to apply a thin layer of the oil on the tray of the air fryer and then transfer coated mushrooms from the bowl to the air fryer tray. Use a spatula to place mushrooms on the tray and cook them for 5 to 10 minutes. Check them from time to time and if you find one is changing color to brown, flip its side to ensure even cooking.
- Flip the sides of mushrooms after 10 minutes and check if they are cooked then shake the tray of the air fryer. Mushrooms require a total of 15 minutes to be cooked and if you leave them in the tray, they will burn, so avoid overcooking when you find that mushrooms are edible, transfer them to the plate.

How Long to Cook Mushrooms in an Air Fryer?
The cooking duration depends upon the type of air fryer you use and the temperature you prefer to cook mushrooms. In my opinion, it takes 15 minutes if you cook mushrooms. Cooking mushrooms at a lower flame makes them tastier compared to mushrooms cooked at a high temperature.
Mushrooms are cooked all around Europe, Asia, and America. I have observed that the majority of people use traditional methods and outdated utensils to cook mushrooms which not only affect the taste but also root out nutrients. Use an air fryer to preserve both taste and nutrients and get a yummy deal of mushrooms within only 15 minutes by following the steps I have explained above.
