Equipment

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces whole baby bella mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons 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 ¼″ 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 again in the basket.
    The mushrooms are done when they turn golden brown with some crispy edges.
  • Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and additional Parmesan cheese before serving.
    Serve warm.
