  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh button or cremini mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the mushrooms: Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel, avoiding soaking them. Trim the stems if needed, then pat dry to ensure the coating sticks perfectly.
  2. Season the mushrooms: In a mixing bowl, drizzle olive oil over the mushrooms. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly. Toss everything together until each mushroom is well coated with the flavorful mix.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This helps get that golden crispiness right as the mushrooms hit the basket.
  4. Air fry the mushrooms: Place the mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer, spacing them out to allow hot air circulation. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  5. Add the finishing touch: If using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the mushrooms immediately after cooking while they’re still hot, letting it melt slightly for that irresistible savory finish.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow mushrooms to crisp rather than steam.
  • Dry mushrooms thoroughly before seasoning to enhance crispiness.
  • Use fresh ranch seasoning for brighter, more vibrant flavor.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on mushroom size to reach perfect doneness.
  • Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
