Healthy Air Fryer Mushrooms [Oil Free]
Description
This recipe calls for cremini mushrooms cleaned and halved, then mixed with tamari soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and optionally black pepper. The marinade adds savory, acidic, and aromatic elements that complement the natural earthiness of the mushrooms.
The mushrooms are cooked in an air fryer at 390°F for 8-10 minutes, shaken or stirred every few minutes to ensure even browning and prevent sticking. This method uses no added oil, allowing the mushrooms to release moisture and develop a slightly crisp exterior with a tender interior.
Air fried mushrooms prepared this way can be served as a warm side or snack and offer a savory, tangy flavor profile without added fat.
It is important not to overcrowd the basket to avoid steaming and to cut mushrooms just in halves or quarters for even cooking. Shaking or stirring during cooking helps achieve uniform browning.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms clean & dry, halved
- 1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce or soy sauce if not avoiding gluten, low sodium
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice approx half a medium lemon
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper optional
Instructions
- Halve your clean and dry mushrooms (or quarter if they're large) and place them in a mixing bowl. Add all remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
- Place them in your air fryer basket and set to 390 degrees F, cooking for 8-10 minutes. Shake your basket or mix the mushrooms every few minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Shake or stir the mushrooms every few minutes during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
- Cut mushrooms just in halves or quarters if large; smaller pieces may cook unevenly or burn.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to prevent steaming and achieve a better texture.
