Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes

Cook Time: 8 minutes minutes

Total Time: 13 minutes minutes

Servings: 2 Servings

Calories: 33cal

Ingredients

  • ▢ 8 oz cremini mushrooms clean & dry, halved
  • ▢ 1 tablespoon low sodium tamari or soy sauce if not avoiding gluten
  • ▢ 1 tablespoon lemon juice approx half a medium lemon
  • ▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ▢ ⅛ teaspoon black pepper optional

Instructions

  • Halve your clean and dry mushrooms (or quarter if they're large) and place them in a mixing bowl. Add all remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well.

  • Place them in your air fryer basket and set to 390 degrees F, cooking for 8-10 minutes. Shake your basket or mix the mushrooms every few minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

Shake your basket or stir your mushrooms every few minutes during cooking to prevent sticking and evenly brown them. Don’t cut your mushrooms too small. Since they will reduce a fair bit during cooking, just cut them in half. If your mushrooms are very large, then you may cut them into quarters. Try not to overcrowd your mushrooms in your basket. Since they release a fair bit of water while cooking, you don’t want them to steam. So place in a single layer.

    I have a few boxes of sliced mushrooms. Do you think I could use them in place of the halved?

      Sure, but keep an eye on them, they’ll likely cook faster.

    I just bought my air fryer the other day, so I’m having a blast trying new recipes. I’m a HUGE mushroom fan, and made these tonight – they are amaaaaazing!! We had hummus with a lot of garlic in it, so I changed out the garlic powder for Herbs de Provence. Will absolutely be making these again, soon!! 🙂

    OMG! My new favorite way to have mushrooms. I will definitely be serving this next time we have company, even if it’s just as an appetizer. Yum.
