These Air Fryer Mushrooms make a delicious easy side dish recipe. Juicy mushrooms are cooked in the air fryer in minutes!
These air fryer mushrooms are the best mushrooms I have ever eaten in my life! They are juicy with crispy edges, cook in just 15 minutes or less, and taste absolutely incredible.
The air fryer is one of those appliances that has genuinely surprised and delighted me how much I use and love it.
I am always thinking up new ways to make recipes in it. These air fried mushrooms are bursting with flavor and so delectable you will want to eat the whole batch yourself, I can promise you that!
These were fantastic and so easy! I usually over or undercook them on the stove, but your air fryer instructions were spot on. Thank you! -Katie
You can find the full recipe and instructions at the bottom of this post, but here’s what you need to make it.
Ingredients you will need
- Mushrooms: baby bella or white button mushrooms work best
- Olive oil: or any neutral flavored cooking oil.
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Worcestershire sauce: this is the secret for the amazing flavor these mushrooms have!
- Salt
How to make air fryer mushrooms
Step 1: Start by washing and drying the baby bella mushrooms. It’s important to dry them well to get as much moisture off as possible.
Step 2: Cut each mushroom in half. For larger mushrooms, you can cut them into fourths. We just want them all to be around the same size so that they cook evenly.
Step 3: Next, toss the mushrooms with all of the seasonings that will make them taste delicious! Give them a stir until they are all coated.
Step 4: Place the mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. For this recipe, I used a 6 quart air fryer, so if you are using a smaller one you will need to work in batches.

Step 5: Turn the air fryer to 400 degrees and cook the mushrooms for 10 minutes. Give them a good shake and stir around the mushrooms so that all sides can get nice and done.
Cook for up to another 5 minutes, until browned on all sides. Be sure to note that every air fryer cooks differently, so keep an eye on these towards the end to avoid burning!
Serve with dinner as a side dish, or simply eat them right out of the air fryer. My husband and I ate the entire batch ourselves and oh my goodness I have never tasted such delicious mushrooms.
