🍄 Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

• 500 g (1 lb) mushrooms (button, cremini, or baby bella)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried parsley (or 2 tbsp fresh parsley)
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Mushrooms

1. Clean mushrooms with a damp towel and trim stems.
2. Keep small mushrooms whole or halve larger ones.
3. Pat them dry — this helps them crisp.

2. Season

1. Mix olive oil, melted butter, garlic, parsley, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Toss mushrooms until evenly coated.

3. Air Fry

1. Preheat air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
2. Place mushrooms in the basket in a single layer.
3. Air fry for 10–14 minutes, shaking halfway through.
4. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cook for another 1–2 minutes if desired.

4. Serve

Finish with:

• Fresh parsley 🌿
• A squeeze of lemon 🍋
• Extra Parmesan 🧀

⭐ Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Mushrooms

• Don’t overcrowd the basket — mushrooms release moisture.
• Dry mushrooms before seasoning for better browning.
• Add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
• Serve immediately for the best texture.
