How to Make Crispy Garlic Mushrooms (Baked or Air fryer)
Start by preheating the oven to 220oC and then lining a baking tray with parchment paper. If using a air fryer, preheat to 200oC.
Season the mushrooms
Arrange the mushrooms on the baking tray then season them with salt, black pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Set the baking tray aside.
Prepare breading station
Gather three bowls then add plain flour to one. To another bowl, add and whisk together the eggs and to the last bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Bread the mushrooms
One by one, dip each mushroom in the flour and fully coat then dip into the egg, draining off any excess then dip into the panko breadcrumbs and fully coat. Place each mushroom back onto the baking tray once coated.
Cook the mushrooms
If baking, spray the mushrooms with oil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until crispy and golden.
If air frying, arrange the mushrooms in the air fryer in a single layer and spray with oil. Cook at 200℃ for 12 - 14 minutes until golden and crispy.
Recipe Tips
- When the mushrooms cool down, they may lose their crispiness but you can reheat them back in the oven to make them crispy again.
Storage
You can store any leftover mushrooms in an airtight container stored in the fridge for around 2 days.
