Air Fryer Fried Mushrooms

My breaded air fryer mushrooms are much lighter than deep fried, but are just as irresistibly crunchy and delicious. I make this crispy breaded mushroom recipe in only 20 minutes, and serve them warm with creamy dipping sauces as a snack, appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces button mushrooms
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. Set out two mixing bowls. In one bowl combine the egg and olive oil. Whisk well. Then add in the mushrooms and toss to coat.

  2. 2

    In the second bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cracked black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Once the air fryer is hot, scoop half of the mushrooms into the breadcrumbs. Toss to coat. Then lay the mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 8 to 12 minutes, gently shaking once after 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile coat the remaining mushrooms and breadcrumbs. Once the first batch is out of the air fryer, repeat with the second batch. Serve warm.
