Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for easy air fryer breaded mushrooms that turn out super crispy:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms (button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms work well)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (regular or panko)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or oil for spraying
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Clean the mushrooms and trim the stems if necessary. You can leave the mushrooms whole or cut them into smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
- In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Place the flour in a separate shallow bowl or plate.
- Dip each mushroom into the flour to coat it lightly, shaking off any excess flour.
- Dip the floured mushroom into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Roll the mushroom in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres to the mushroom. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms.
- Lightly spray the breaded mushrooms with cooking spray or brush them with a small amount of oil. This will help them turn crispy.
- Place the breaded mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry the mushrooms at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket or flip the mushrooms halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
- Once done, remove the mushrooms from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two before serving.
- Serve the crispy air fryer breaded mushrooms as an appetizer or snack, and enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce.
These air fryer breaded mushrooms are deliciously crispy and make a great addition to any meal or party spread. Enjoy!
