Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. whole baby bella mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp. avocado oil
  • 1½ tbsp. soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp. finely grated Parmesan cheese plus more for serving
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • ½ tsp. dried thyme
  • ¼ tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400˚F.
    Clean the mushrooms by rinsing them or using a damp paper towel to remove loose dirt. If you rinse them, the best way to dry them is in a salad spinner lined with a paper towel.

  • Slice the mushrooms into 1/4" slices. Keep the slices as consistent as possible so they'll air fry evenly. Transfer them to a large bowl or spread them out on a baking sheet.

  • Whisk the avocado oil, soy sauce, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried thyme, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Pour the sauce over the sliced mushrooms and gently toss to coat them completely.

  • Arrange the mushrooms in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer. They can overlap a little, as they shrink quite a bit during the air frying. You may need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your basket.

  • Air fry for 8 - 10 minutes, tossing the mushrooms after the first 5 minutes. If the mushrooms stick to the air fryer basket, gently loosen them with a silicone spatula and spread them back out in the basket. The mushrooms are done when they turn golden brown with some crispy edges.
