Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) fresh mushrooms (white button, cremini, or baby bella), cleaned and halved
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried thyme (or fresh thyme, chopped)
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (or fresh rosemary, chopped)
- 1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel, removing any dirt. Trim the stems and cut the mushrooms in half if they are large.
- Season the Mushrooms
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, and rosemary. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the mushrooms in the mixture until well-coated. Let them marinate for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
- Air Fry the Mushrooms
- Arrange the mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for optimal crispiness.
- Air fry for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. The mushrooms should be golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Add Fresh Touches
- Once done, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the mushrooms for added freshness.
- Serve Hot
- Transfer the roasted mushrooms to a serving dish. Serve hot as an appetizer, side dish, or add them to salads, pasta, or steaks.
