Ingredients:

• 4 large portobello mushrooms, stems removed and gills scraped out
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced (red, green, or yellow)
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
2. Prepare Portobello Mushrooms:
   • Remove the stems from the portobello mushrooms and scrape out the gills using a spoon. Place the mushrooms on a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
3. Prepare Filling:
   • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Vegetables:
   • Add diced bell peppers and quartered cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
5. Add Spinach and Seasoning:
   • Stir in chopped baby spinach and cook until wilted. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Mix in Cheese and Breadcrumbs:
   • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs until well combined.
7. Stuff Portobello Mushrooms:
   • Divide the filling mixture evenly among the portobello mushrooms, pressing down gently to compact the filling.
8. Air Fry Stuffed Mushrooms:
   • Place the stuffed portobello mushrooms in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through.
9. Top with Mozzarella:
   • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the stuffed mushrooms during the last 2 minutes of cooking, allowing it to melt and become bubbly.
10. Garnish and Serve:
    • Once done, remove the stuffed portobello mushrooms from the air fryer. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.
11. Enjoy:
    • Serve these delicious air-fried stuffed portobello mushrooms as a flavorful appetizer or side dish!

Note:

• Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients, such as cooked sausage, diced ham, or additional vegetables.
• Ensure not to overstuff the mushrooms to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.
