These air fryer breaded mushroom are superbly crunchy outside and juicy inside. They are an addictively tasty appetizer. Do try.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. mushrooms or about 200 gm.
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt try cashew or soy yogurt)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated cheese (or vegan cheese)
  • 1 tsp. cayenne or paprika
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp. turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp. olive oil to spray

Directions

  1. 1

    Remove the dirt and wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth. Quarter them. Choose fresh mushrooms.

  2. 2

    Beat Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt and spread on a plate. Coat the cut mushrooms in the yogurt to cover well. This helps with helping the outer coating adhere to the mushrooms.

  3. 3

    Mix together breadcrumbs, grated cheese or vegan cheese, cayenne or paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and turmeric powder in a shallow plate.

  4. 4

    I needed to do mine in 2 batches. I used parchment paper for easier cleanup. Do not use parchment paper while preheating. Always use it with food on top.

  5. 5

    Now dunk the yogurt dipped mushrooms in the breading mix. Use your hands to press down the breading so that it sticks to the mushrooms.

  6. 6

    Preheat air fryer at 390 F or 200 C for 3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Lay the prepared breaded mushrooms on the parchment paper in air fryer basket. Spray olive oil on top. Air fry at 200 C for 4-5 minutes till golden brown and done.

  8. 8

    The time may vary depending upon the size of your mushrooms and the model of your air fryer. I use Philips air fryer.

  9. 9

    The mushrooms will be very hot so wait for them to cool down a bit before eating.

  10. 10

    Serve hot with ketchup, spicy mayo or a dip of your choice.
