Main Ingredients
- 8 oz fresh button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt without soaking. Trim ends of the stems if necessary and pat dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness.
- Toss with Ranch Seasoning and Oil: In a mixing bowl, combine mushrooms with olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly with the seasoning blend.
- Preheat and Arrange in Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes. Place the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding to allow maximum air circulation.
- Air Fry Until Golden and Crispy: Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking. Watch closely in the last minutes to achieve desired crispiness without burning.
- Serve Immediately: Transfer mushrooms to a plate and enjoy while hot and crunchy for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Dry Mushrooms Thoroughly to avoid sogginess and ensure a crispy texture.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; arrange mushrooms in a single layer for even cooking.
- Shake or stir mushrooms halfway through the cooking time for uniform browning.
- Adjust seasoning quantities to your personal taste preferences.
- Use fresh mushrooms for best results in texture and flavor absorption.
