Instructions

Prepare the Mushrooms: Start by rinsing the button mushrooms under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry thoroughly with a clean towel to ensure they crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
Season: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mushrooms with olive oil, salt, granulated garlic, paprika, dried Italian seasoning, and a pinch of white or black pepper. Toss well to coat all mushrooms evenly with the seasoning and oil.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Cook the Mushrooms: Place the seasoned mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow optimal air circulation. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure all sides cook evenly.
Serve: Remove the mushrooms from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a delicious side or snack.

Notes

Make sure mushrooms are dry before seasoning to help them crisp rather than steam.
Adjust the seasoning to taste; you can add chili flakes for heat or fresh herbs for extra freshness.
For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.
This recipe is great for a quick appetizer or as a side dish to complement any meal.
