15-Minute Easy Air Fryer Mushrooms with Parmesan & Garlic
These mushrooms are the perfect side dish and are delightful whether or not you're a mushroom lover. Ready in 15 minutes, simply toss fresh sliced mushrooms in a savory soy sauce with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried thyme, and air fry for 10 minutes.
Clean the mushrooms by rinsing them or using a damp paper towel to remove loose dirt. If you rinse them, the best way to dry them is in a salad spinner lined with a paper towel.
If the mushrooms are whole (not sliced), slice them into ¼" slices. Keep the slices as consistent as possible so they'll air fry evenly.
Transfer mushroom slices to a large bowl or spread them out on a baking sheet.
Whisk the avocado oil, soy sauce, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried thyme, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Pour the sauce over the sliced mushrooms and gently toss to coat them completely.
Arrange the mushrooms in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer. They can overlap a little, as they shrink quite a bit during the air frying. You may need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your basket.
Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing the mushrooms after the first 5 minutes. If the mushrooms stick to the air fryer basket, gently loosen them with a silicone spatula and spread back out in the basket. The mushrooms are done when they turn a golden brown with some crispy edges.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and additional Parmesan cheese before serving. Serve warm.
