Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms (button, cremini, or your choice) Choose firm and plump mushrooms.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme Use fresh thyme if available.
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by cleaning the mushrooms. Use a damp paper towel to wipe away any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary. Cut larger mushrooms in half or quarters for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
- Add the cleaned mushrooms to the bowl and toss them in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
- Once preheated, place the marinated mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper circulation.
- Cook the mushrooms for about 10 to 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. They should be golden brown and tender when done.
Serving
- Carefully remove the mushrooms from the air fryer, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve while hot.
