🍄 Air Fryer Garlic Mushrooms

Crispy, savory, and bursting with garlicky goodness — done in under 15 minutes!

Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10–12 mins
Serves: 2–3

📝 Ingredients:

• 12 oz (340g) whole mushrooms (button or cremini), cleaned
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional, for extra depth)
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme (or Italian herbs)
• Salt & black pepper, to taste
• Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

🔥 Directions:

1. Prep the mushrooms:
   Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel. Trim the stems if needed but keep them whole for maximum juiciness.
2. Marinate:
   In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, soy sauce, balsamic (if using), thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss the mushrooms in the mixture until fully coated.
3. Air fry:
   Place mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
4. Garnish & serve:
   Once golden and tender, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot!

💡 Tips:

• Don’t overcrowd the basket — air circulation is key for browning.
• Want them spicier? Add chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.
• Great as a side dish, appetizer, or tossed into salads or pasta.
