Easy, crispy Air Fryer Ranch Mushrooms loaded with bold, zesty ranch flavor and a delightfully crunchy texture. A healthy, quick snack or side dish made with fresh mushrooms coated in a savory ranch seasoning blend and cooked to perfection in the air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
