Ingredients
Ingredients
- 16 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons grated parmesan
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, add 16 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of minced fresh thyme, ½ teaspoon of salt (optional), and ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper. Toss well to coat all mushrooms evenly with the seasoning.
- Air fry mushrooms: Place the coated mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single, even layer to ensure proper cooking.
- First air fry cycle: Air fry the mushrooms at 380°F (193°C) for 5 minutes to start the cooking process and begin browning.
- Shake basket: After 5 minutes, shake the air fryer basket to redistribute the mushrooms for even cooking.
- Second air fry cycle: Continue air frying for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and cooked through to your liking.
Notes
- Be sure to arrange mushrooms in a single layer to promote even cooking and browning.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook mushrooms in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fresh thyme adds a bright herbal note; dried thyme can be used if fresh is unavailable but reduce quantity by half.
- Adjust salt according to your taste and dietary needs.
- These mushrooms pair well as a side to grilled meats or tossed into salads and pasta dishes.
