What Type of Mushrooms to Use

Personally, I prefer this recipe using cremini mushrooms, because I love their "meaty" flavor.

This recipe works with all kinds of mushrooms, however - we're rounding up our favorites below:

White button mushrooms
Shiitake mushrooms
Portabella mushrooms
Enoki mushrooms
Lions mane mushrooms
Oyster Mushrooms
Gourmet mushroom blends from your grocer

Should I Chop Mushrooms

Whether or not you leave mushrooms whole, or chopped, is up to you.

Since we're cooking in an air fryer basket - which by design has holes so air can flow through - you will want a large, rough chop - especially since mushrooms shrink considerably when their water releases while cooking.

Don't chop so small the bits all fall to the bottom and burn!

Do I Need To Remove Mushroom Stems

Some mushrooms don't have thick, woody stems - and some do.

I like to remove cremini mushroom stems because they can get really dry and woody when cooking (similar to the woody ends of aspargus), but if you like them, go ahead and leave them on!

Recipe FAQs

How long can I keep air fried mushrooms?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
To reheat, pop into air fryer for 5-8 minutes, until piping hot.

Are air fried mushrooms crunchy?

Since we're keeping these simple without breading, these mushrooms won't be crispy or crunchy - but also won't be soggy. They will be similar to pan fried mushrooms with a nice toothy bite and won't feel slimy at all.
