Instructions:
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C). If your air fryer model requires preheating, make sure to do so before adding the mushrooms.
Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture:
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. If using, add the lemon juice or dried thyme. Stir well to combine.
Season the Mushrooms:
Place the mushrooms in a mixing bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the mushrooms and gently toss to ensure all the mushrooms are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the Mushrooms:
Arrange the mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. It’s okay if they touch slightly, but they should not be overcrowded. Cook in batches if necessary.
Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the mushrooms are golden and tender.
Serve:
Once done, transfer the mushrooms to a serving dish. They can be garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
Serve hot as a side dish with steaks, roasted chicken, or enjoy them as an appetizer.
Tips:
Mushroom Size: If your mushrooms are very large, consider cutting them in halves or quarters for more uniform cooking.
Avoid Washing: Try to clean the mushrooms with a dry brush or paper towel instead of washing them, as they can absorb water and become soggy.
Serving Suggestions: These mushrooms are great for topping grilled meats or as a rich addition to salads. They can also be served with a dip or as part of a vegetable platter.
