Expert tips for cooking mushrooms in the air fryer
- Try to make sure all of the mushrooms are similar in size. I left the smaller ones whole and only sliced the larger ones. Most of which I just sliced in half.
- Season them well! The seasoning in this recipe is great because it really brings out the amazing flavors of the mushrooms.
- Don’t overcrowd your air fryer. Mushrooms do shrink as they cook so this is not that big of a deal in this recipe but you still want to make sure not to put too many in the air fryer at one time.
- Shake the mushrooms in the air fryer basket during cooking so they get nice and golden on all sides.
How long do mushrooms take in the air fryer?
Most mushrooms take about 12-15 minutes to cook in the air fryer depending on their size. Portobello mushrooms will take longer to cook since they are larger than white or baby Bella mushrooms.
Why did my mushrooms not get crispy?
Typically if the mushrooms or any vegetable in the air fryer does not crisp up it is due to overcrowding the air fryer. Try placing them in an even layer so they are not overlapping when you cook them to allow them to become nice and crispy and golden.
How to store and reheat air fryer mushrooms
Once you have cooked the mushrooms, let them cool and then transfer them to an airtight container. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can easily reheat them in a pan on the stovetop or in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for a few minutes.

Description
Air Fryer Mushrooms are a flavorful healthy side dish you can make in 15 minutes! They are so delicious and easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. This is the best way to cook roasted mushrooms perfectly every single time!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces baby Bella mushrooms – cleaned
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Chopped parsley – optional for garnish
Instructions
- Clean the mushrooms lightly with a wet paper towel or you can rinse them with water then dry them. Slice the mushrooms in half. I left the smaller ones whole.
- Place the sliced mushroom into a medium bowl and drizzle then with the oil and tamari. Then season them with the garlic powder, onion powder and thyme. Toss to coat them in the seasoning.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F and spray the basket with olive oil cooking spray. Place the mushrooms into the air fryer in an even layer. Cook them at 400 degrees F for 12-14 minutes, flipping them in the basket as they cook. I flipped them around 8 minutes.
- Once the mushrooms are done cooking, remove them from the air fryer and place them onto a plate. Top with fresh chopped parsley and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure you cut the mushrooms so that they are all the same size for even cooking.
- Shake the mushrooms in the air fryer basket as they cook. I like to shake them at around 8 minutes then let them continue to cook for the remaining cook time.
- Serve immediately.
- You can store these cooked mushrooms after they have cooled, in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave or right in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for a few minutes.
