  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 2-3 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
