Notes

There is no need to shake the basket during the cooking process.

I use a Cosori 5.8 quart basket style air fryer. Because air fryers are different, air frying cook time may vary. Add a couple of minutes to cooking time as needed.

Fresh garlic is always a favorite, but you can use garlic powder as a substitute.

If using a larger air fryer, you can cook all mushrooms at once. If using a smaller air fryer, do not over fill the basket. Work in batches of mushrooms if necessary.

Depending on what you are serving, and the type of mushrooms, you can cut mushrooms in half, or slices. You can leave them whole if they are small, or slice them to your preference. If using a larger mushroom, they may cook better if sliced.
