Making air fryer mushrooms will seriously be your favorite way to roast mushrooms when you want them as a quick side with steak, a roast, or to mix with eggs. In less than 15 minutes you’ll have perfectly cooked savory air fried mushrooms with garlic and herbs.

Mushrooms are healthy, low calorie, low carb, high in protein and high in vitamin D. They’re not only tasty, but they also work with just about any health plan including being gluten-free, low carb, dairy-free, keto-friendly, paleo, Whole30, and vegan.

I seriously can’t think of a diet that doesn’t recommend mushrooms!

If you’re looking for even more air fryer side dish recipes then you’ll want to try our air fryer broccoli, air fried Brussel sprouts, and air fryer sweet potatoes with cilantro-lime butter.

And if you want to make a complete air fried meal, why not pair the roasted mushrooms in air fryer with our air fryer Italian sausages or air fried pork chops. If you have a large air fryer, you can simply cook the mushrooms with the meat at the same time.

Air Fried Mushrooms

Mushrooms, mushrooms, mushrooms…oh how delightful those funny looking small fungi can be. Whether we’re talking about white button mushrooms, morels, or portabella, air roasting them in oil, garlic, and seasoning really brings out their flavor.

While everyone in our family has always been a mushroom fan, my kids gobbled up this entire batch right after the air fryer mushrooms were done cooking! Little did I know I’d have to start buying mushrooms in bulk at the grocery store to keep up with my family’s love of air fried mushrooms.

Ingredients for Air Fryer Fried Mushrooms

Most of the ingredients you need (other than the mushrooms themselves) are just basic pantry staples. You can change the seasoning, skip it, use a different type of oil, or swap jar garlic for fresh.

While we used standard button mushrooms in this recipe, ANY type of mushroom should work!

1 lb button or crimini mushrooms
1-2 Tbsp oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
2 garlic cloves, minced

And feel free to increase the garlic if you’re a big garlic fan! We sometimes use garlic salt instead of sea salt to give these even more of a garlic kick. And in a pinch you can even skip the fresh garlic cloves and use a little dried garlic in its place.

Making Mushrooms in Air Fryer

Depending on the size of your mushrooms, you might decide to leave them whole or cut them into smaller pieces.

Our rule of thumb is to leave small mushrooms whole, halve the medium sized mushrooms, and quarter large mushrooms. If you purchase mushrooms pre-cleaned in a package they’re most likely a uniform size. We purchased them from our grocery store bin, which meant ours mostly ended up medium sized or large.

Add the mushrooms to a medium size bowl along with the oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and pepper.

Stir to combine.

Preheat the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 400 F.

Spread the mushrooms out in a single layer on the air fryer rack or in a basket, depending on your model.

Cook the roasted mushrooms in the air fryer for 6 minutes and then flip them or shake your air fryer basket.

Continue cooking them for 5-6+ additional minutes until cooked through.

Serve hot alongside a juicy steak, pork chops, with eggs or other vegetables. Enjoy!
