Prep Time: 5–7 minutes

Cook Time: 10–12 minutes

Total Time: 15–18 minutes

Ingredients

250–300g mushrooms (button or cremini), cleaned

2 tbsp butter (melted)

3–4 garlic cloves (minced)

½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp dried oregano or thyme

½ tsp chili flakes (optional)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for freshness)

Instructions

 Prep the Mushrooms

Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth and pat dry. Keep them whole or halve if large.

 Make Garlic Butter Mix

In a bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and chili flakes.

 Coat Mushrooms

Add mushrooms to the bowl and toss well so they’re evenly coated.

 Air Fry

Preheat air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 2–3 minutes

Place mushrooms in a single layer in the basket

Cook for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through

Finish & Garnish

Drizzle with lemon juice (optional) and sprinkle fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for Best Results

Don’t overcrowd the basket—mushrooms need space to roast, not steam

Use a mix of butter + oil to prevent burning

Shake halfway for even browning

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of grated parmesan at the end

Serving Suggestions

Serve with grilled chicken, steak, or fish

Toss into pasta or rice bowls
