Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cremini or white button mushrooms
  • Avocado oil spray
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 cloves minced garlic

Method
 

  1. Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth. Cut large mushrooms into quarters and smaller mushrooms in half.
  2. Place mushrooms in the air fryer basket, spray with avocado oil, and add a pinch of salt. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and minced garlic.
  4. Transfer air-fried mushrooms to the mixing bowl, add another light spray of avocado oil, and use a large spoon to combine with the vinegar mixture.
  5. Transfer the mushrooms back to the air fryer. Air fry for an additional 2 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
  6. Once done, transfer to a serving dish. Taste, and add an additional pinch of salt, if needed, before serving.

Notes

- Don't overcrowd your air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even crisping and browning.
- For perfectly tender yet crisp mushrooms, ensure they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Leftover air fryer mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes to restore crispness.
- Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of soy sauce to the vinegar mixture for a deeper, umami flavor variation.
