Air fryer Garlic Butter Mushroom Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 20 minutes Recipe Intensity: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh mushrooms (such as button or cremini), cleaned and halved
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the halved mushrooms, melted butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the mushrooms are evenly coated with the garlic butter mixture.
3. Place the garlic butter mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
4. Air fry the mushrooms at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking. The mushrooms should be tender and golden brown when done.
5. Remove the cooked garlic butter mushrooms from the air fryer basket and transfer them to a serving dish.
6. Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot mushrooms for added flavor.
7. Serve the air fryer garlic butter mushrooms immediately as a delicious side dish or appetizer.

Note: You can adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness. These garlic butter mushrooms pair well with grilled meats, pasta dishes, or as a topping for salads. Enjoy the flavorful and easy-to-make air fryer recipe!
