How To Make Mushrooms In The Air Fryer

Expect to spend roughly 10 minutes preparing the ingredients and five minutes air frying. 

Cleaning – Mushrooms are dirty little devils so don’t skip this step. Read below for an easy way to clean them, without water logging them.

Slicing – Cut the mushrooms into a uniform size. 

Mixing – Toss the mushrooms with the marinade before transferring to the air fryer basket.

Cooking – Cook for just 4-5 minutes when your air fryer is pre-heated.

Tip – if you like making vegetables in the air fryer try this Air Fryer Eggplant recipe.

What Type of Mushrooms Should I Use?

You can prepare this Air Fryer Mushrooms recipe with a variety of different mushroom including, white button mushrooms, small brown mushrooms, portobello mushrooms (cut to smaller size), oyster mushrooms or shiitake mushrooms.

How To Clean Mushrooms

Do not soak or rinse your mushrooms to clean! Use a damp paper towel to clean and remove dirt from the mushrooms. Mushrooms act like a sponge and will become water logged – this water will release when cooked watering down the sauce.

Air Fryer Recipe Tips

Can I use Canned Mushrooms? Nope. Those little guys are filled with a ton of liquid. The air fryer will never be able to “fry” them. You’ll be left with bland mush.

Air Fryer Mushrooms and Onions – Slice up some onions and add to the mixture before cooking.

For my Air Fryer Recipes, I use the June Oven. In the market for a new Air Fryer? Amazon has a ton on sale, including the popular Ninja Foodie Digital Fry.

Serve these mushrooms up with a Ribeye in Air Fryer and garlic mashed potatoes for a killer meal!

Air Fryer Mushrooms Flavor Combination #2

Instructions
 

Air Fryer Mushrooms Flavor Combination #1

  • Pre-heat the air fryer to 375 Degrees F.
  • Cut the mushrooms to your desired size. RECOMMENDED: Cut small and medium sized mushrooms in half and quarter large mushrooms.
  • Add the mushrooms to a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring halfway through. If the mushrooms are overlapping quite a bit, increase the cook time to 6-7 and stir 2-3 times to ensure even cooking.
  • For best results, serve immediately.

Air Fryer Mushrooms Flavor Combination #2

  • Pre-heat the air fryer to 375 Degrees F.
  • Cut the mushrooms to your desired size. RECOMMENDED: Cut small and medium sized mushrooms in half and quarter large mushrooms.
  • Add the mushrooms to a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring halfway through. If the mushrooms are overlapping quite a bit, increase the cook time to 6-7 and stir 2-3 times to ensure even cooking.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over the top of each portion and serve immediately.

Notes

The recipe, as written above, includes pre-heating the air fryer. If you prefer not to pre-heat the air fryer, you’ll need to increase the cook time to 8-10 minutes.
Note 2 – Mushroom options: white button mushrooms, small brown mushrooms, portabella mushrooms (cut to smaller size), oyster mushrooms or shitake mushrooms.
Note 3 – Feel free to replace the Worcestershire Sauce with Soy Sauce, if desired.
Note 4 – It can be hard to distribute fresh garlic into each bite. We find using a mix of fresh garlic and powdered garlic distributes the garlic flavor better.
