What kind of mushrooms work best for air-fried mushrooms

Air fryer mushrooms work with smaller sized white or portobello mushrooms. You want to avoid the large portobello caps or other larger or smaller mushrooms.

Are mushrooms healthy?

Mushrooms are a healthy veggie that you can add to any recipe to provide some additional nutrients. However, though mushrooms are healthy, we do add some butter and oil, so you will get some added fat. If you are looking to cut fat, you can skip the butter altogether.

How to cut mushrooms for Air fryer mushrooms recipe

When we make this air fryer mushroom recipe, we use smaller mushrooms. If they are not the same size, then we cut the larger ones in half to help make them roughly even in size. This allows them to cook more evenly in the air fryer.
If they have long stems, you should trim them just a bit so they are roughly the same size.

How to clean mushrooms

When you clean mushrooms, you want to be careful to avoid breaking them too much, but you also want to make sure to get all the dirt off them by scrubbing them gently with a damp paper towel.  
You can then rinse them with a bit of cool water.

How do I serve these mushrooms?

When we serve these mushrooms, we serve them as a side or as an appetizer. You can stick a toothpick in each if you are serving at a party or other get together. 

Make sure to serve these mushrooms hot from the air fryer. They are best served fresh the day you make them, but you can store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge. To reheat, you can pop them in a warm oven for a few minutes until they warm through.
