Perfect for vegans and anyone looking to add more vegetables to their diet, these mushrooms are packed with flavor and nutrients. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up this crispy treat in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients

  • 300g fresh button mushrooms, cleaned
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cleaned mushrooms, olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  2. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for 5 minutes.
  3. Place the coated mushrooms in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for maximum crispiness.
  4. Cook for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with nutritional yeast and fresh parsley before serving.

Pro tips for maximum crisp

  • For extra crispiness, ensure mushrooms are thoroughly dried before coating.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer for best results.
  • Try adding different spices like cumin or chili powder for a unique flavor twist.
