These delectable Air Fryer Garlic Butter Mushrooms are bursting with flavor! Each bite will leave you wanting more and more. Perfect as a quick and easy dinner side dish that the whole family will rave about. These cook in just 8 minutes!
Ingredients:
- Mushrooms – I used white mushrooms. I recommend buying whole mushrooms and then slicing them in half.
- Garlic Cloves – I like using fresh garlic for this recipe. You can use garlic powder or store-bought garlic paste if you don’t have garlic cloves on hand.
- Melted Butter – I always use unsalted butter. If you use salted butter, then go easy on the salt when seasoning.
- Soy Sauce – I used low sodium soy sauce. If you use regular soy sauce, you may not want to add any additional salt.
- Olive Oil
- Garlic Powder, Salt, and Pepper
Air Fryer Instructions:
1. Smash the garlic cloves: Using a sharp knife, chop the garlic into tiny pieces. Sprinkle a pinch of salt onto the garlic. Using the back of a wooden spoon, smash the garlic until it turns into a paste. Set aside.
2. To a large bowl, add the mushrooms, melted butter, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and garlic paste. Toss the mushrooms until fully coated.
3. Preheat the air fryer to 385 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Once the air fryer is ready, add mushrooms to the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 8 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through.
5. Remove mushrooms from air fryer, let cool, then enjoy as a side dish, appetizer, or snack! Optionally, top with fresh chopped parsley.
