💡 Expert Tips and Tricks
- Pat the mushrooms dry before adding the oil and seasonings. This well help everything stick better and give you better flavor!
- Slice the mushrooms into similar sized slices to ensure even cooking.
❔ FAQs
No, you won't need to rinse them. You may need to use a paper towel to wipe away any residual dirt or residue, but rinsing them will make it more difficult for the seasonings to stick.
I recommend preheating your air fryer to ensure that the temperature is properly calibrated. This will ensure a much more even cook on the mushrooms!
If you have them bunched up or if the air fryer isn't at the right temperature, they may end up soggy or undercooked. If you have too many mushrooms, you may need to cook in batches.
📝 Substitutions and Variations
- Other seasoning options include Italian seasoning, herbes de Provence, or dried thyme.
- Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese toward the end of cooking for some extra savory and salty flavor.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a special touch.
- Baby bella or cremini mushrooms are also great options for this air fryer sliced mushrooms recipe.
Kristin's Kitchen Tip
Be sure to spread out the mushrooms in the air fryer basket so they cook evenly!
🥡 Storage and Reheating
If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350 degrees.
I don't recommend freezing mushrooms, as it changes the texture.
