    This easy air fryer mushrooms recipe is suitable for Vegan, gluten-free, Soy free, Low carb - keto friendly food preferences. I love this low calorie, low oil side dish that is so full of delicious flavors and satisfying.

    Air fryer is my favorite kitchen gadget to make a variety of delicious, non-fried food. Air Fryer Zucchini No Breading, Crispy Fingerling Potatoes,  Sweet potato wedges,  Zucchini fries are simply the BEST!

    If you are a mushroom lover like me, you will find several super delicious recipe creations from our kitchen. Enjoy making our favorites like Creamy Mushroom Soup, Stuffed Mushrooms,  Creamy Mushroom Sauce, Vegan Mushroom Risotto and Creamy Mushroom Pasta.

    Rich and caramelized mushrooms air fried to perfection.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients used to make this 4 ingredient air fryer mushroom recipe.

    Mushrooms: I am using baby Bella mushrooms. But other type of mushroom like Portobello mushrooms, white button mushrooms, Cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms or oyster mushrooms would also work perfectly.

    Oil: I like to use Avocado or Extra virgin olive oil since we are cooking at a high temperature. Feel free to use other cooking oils including canola oil, sunflower oil or vegetable oil. You can also use melted butter.

    Using cooking oil spray is a great alternative. I love this Avocado Oil Spray. ( Amazon affiliate link) It is low calorie, coats things well and gets the job done well.

    Seasoning: I am using basic seasoning of onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper powder. Mushrooms are rich in umami flavors so you don't need much other ingredients.

    Feel free to use fresh lemon juice, soy sauce, Tamari, Coconut Amino, Rice Vinegar, Worcestershire Sauce or Chili Garlic Sauce if you want more intense and rich flavors.

    Store bought Italian seasoning , Old Bay Cajun seasoning , Turmeric Curry Powder or Garam masala also tastes wonderful. Everything but Bagel seasoning is also a great option.

    How to Make Air Fryer Mushrooms

    Wash mushrooms under running water. Scrub off dirt on the stems and under the caps. Let them drain in a colander and pat dry with damp paper towel before using.

    Cut them in half. You have bigger sized mushrooms, cut them into quarters. Do not make thin slices.

    Add mushrooms to a mixing bowl, add oil, black pepper, salt, onion and garlic powder. Toss to combine and coat.

    Put seasoned mushrooms into air fryer basket. Set temperature to 375°Fahreheit and put the timer for 8 to 10 minutes. Mid way through air frying, gently toss the mushrooms with a wooden or silicon spatula.

    Serve warm with optional garnishes like parmesan cheese, fresh thyme sprinkled on top your choice of dip, spread or dressing. Enjoy !

    Storage and re-heating

    Air fried Mushrooms are best when served immediately after making. Serve warm or at room temperature. However have leftovers, keep them in a air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Reheat the mushrooms in the air fryer at 325 degree Fahrenheit for 3 to 5 mins or till heated through. You can also do this in the microwave at 30 seconds intervals till warmed through.

    Serving Suggestions

    Air Fryer Roasted Mushrooms make excellent side dish that will go with any comfort food type of dinner. I like to serve it with cozy soups like Creamy Gnocchi Soup, Vegetable Barley Soup or Chickpea Orzo Soup.

    You can also serve them in Buddha Bowl, as a light lunch or as a salad. I like to drizzle Avocado Cilantro Lime Dressing or cool Greek Tzatziki Sauce pair beautifully.

    You can also top these seasoned crisp mushrooms on toasted baguette or crostini's. Along with Olive Tapenade and Classic Bruschetta, it is my favorite way to enjoy small plate Tapas Style Appetizers.
