Frequently asked
How long do mushrooms take in the air fryer?
About 10–12 minutes at 375°F, shaking a few times, until golden and tender.
Why are my mushrooms watery?
They released moisture in a crowded basket. Cook in a single layer and shake so it evaporates.
What do I serve them with?
Steak, burgers, eggs, toast, or stirred into pasta or rice.
