Primary Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh mushrooms (whole white button or cremini)
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth to remove any dirt; avoid soaking as mushrooms absorb water easily, which can hinder crisping.
- Season the Mushrooms: In a mixing bowl, combine the mushrooms with olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss gently until every mushroom is evenly coated with the seasoning blend.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Air Fry the Mushrooms: Place the mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even crisping.
- Serve Warm: Remove the golden and crispy mushrooms from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Dry mushrooms well before seasoning to ensure crispiness.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; air circulation is essential for even cooking.
- Shake or stir the mushrooms midway through cooking to get an even golden crust.
- Use a high-quality ranch seasoning mix for the best flavor.
- Adjust cooking time slightly if using larger mushrooms to ensure they cook through.
