Recipe Variations
Use flavored olive oil. If you want to add to the flavor then you could use flavored olive oil. Chilli is great for a bit of a kick but garlic-infused olive oil can add a different depth of flavor to the mushrooms and works really well. Garlic mushrooms are always going to taste incredible.
What other seasonings can I add? You could sprinkle things like onion powder, soy sauce, fresh parsley, lemon zest, black pepper, and even parmesan cheese to add a different flavor.
Add different vegetables. Mushrooms work well with many different vegetables. This process will work well with bell peppers or zucchini.
What about breaded mushrooms? You could make them in a smaller air fryer. You just need to add some bread crumbs and perhaps coat the mushrooms in some garlic butter. They will be super tasty.
Storage
If you have any leftovers then you can store them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. They can easily be reheated in the air fryer for a couple of minutes and will taste just as good. You can also freeze them for up to three months. Before storing the air fryer mushrooms they should be left to cool completely.
Tips & Tricks
- Make sure you take the time to ensure that the mushrooms are coasted in olive oil and seasonings. This will ensure that the air fryer cooks them evenly.
- Shaking the mushrooms after 4 minutes ensures that nothing is sticking to your air fryer basket. You can also check on how the cooking process is going.
