Step 1: Start by washing and drying the baby bella mushrooms. It’s important to dry them well to get as much moisture off as possible.
Step 2: cut each mushroom in half. For larger mushrooms, you can cut them into fourths. We just want them all to be around the same size.

Step 5: Turn the air fryer to 400 degrees and cook the mushrooms for 10 minutes. Give them a good shake and stir around the mushrooms so that all sides can get nice and done.
Cook for up to another 5 minutes, until browned on all sides. Be sure to note that every air fryer cooks differently, so keep an eye on these towards the end to avoid burning!
Serve with dinner as a side dish, or simply eat them right out of the air fryer. My husband and I ate the entire batch ourselves and oh my goodness I have never tasted such delicious mushrooms.

Notes
This recipe was made using a 6 quart air fryer. If you are using a smaller air fryer, you will need to make the recipe in batches so that the mushrooms can cook in a single layer.
Every air fryer cooks differently, so keep a close eye on the mushrooms at the end of cook time to avoid burning.
First, make sure the mushrooms are completely dry, then cook them in a hot skillet with some oil or butter as you normally would. Wait until you take them off the heat to shower them with a sprinkle of salt. This seems like a really small thing, but it actually makes a big difference.
Those beer-battered onion rings, fries, fish cutlets, plus tempura veggies and more are not well suited for a crisp in the air fryer. The batter will drip down into the base of the machine, making a big mess to cleanup afterward. Not to mention, it could even set off the alarm on models with alert systems.
Butter is great because it adds lots of flavor and produces a nice golden brown exterior, while adding oil allows the mushrooms to cook a little more quickly at slightly higher heat.
Cooking with dry heat—and yes, cooking directly in fat is actually a "dry" cooking method—allows them to release their natural moisture. It caramelizes their sugars, making them tender, not spongey.
Try balsamic vinegar, butter or olive oil, lots of fresh garlic, and some fresh herbs. Score the tops of the mushrooms to help them shed more liquid. Let the mushrooms soak in the marinade for about 10 minutes and up to 45 minutes prior to grilling on a 450° grill. Cook them for about 12 to 15 minutes and then serve.
Does baking soda kill mushrooms? No, it does not kill mushrooms but halts their growth. Sprinkling baking soda over the mushrooms in your mulch can help reduce their spread, as well as provide a pH buffer that may discourage further growth.
Summary. In conclusion, while air fryers offer certain benefits such as reduced calorie intake and faster cooking times, they are not without their limitations. Size constraints, limited cooking options, and concerns about crispiness are driving some people to look for alternatives.
Air-frying equipment is not known to cause cancer, but the process of air frying does result in the formation of certain compounds, like acrylamide, that are linked to cancer development. Acrylamide is classified as a probable human carcinogen.
The two biggest concerns are potential carcinogens called acrylamides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are created in the process of cooking.
This is the big one: Do not salt the mushrooms too early in the cooking process. Salting too early often draws out too much of the inherent moisture or liquid, which can be a bit overwhelming if you're a mushroom newbie making a large batch.
When your mushrooms are mostly golden brown on all sides, season with salt and pepper, and if you want to add them, garlic, lemon, thyme, and butter. It's so simple and so good!
Sear mushrooms for a more intense roasted, charred and smoky flavor and overall aroma. Roast mushrooms to get more sweet, salty and umami tastes with caramelized, nutty and buttery flavors. When cooked properly, mushrooms can take on the texture and consistency of meat.
The researchers concluded that the best way to cook mushrooms while still preserving their nutritional properties is to grill or microwave them, as the fried and boiled mushrooms showed significantly less antioxidant activity.
Constantly sautéeing and stirring the mushrooms means that they won't have the opportunity to become golden-brown. Without proper caramelization, mushrooms are nothing but rubbery gray nubbins. And not the good kind of nubbin. It's the crispy bits that make mushrooms delicious.
Some call for pouring hot water over the mushrooms, but that hurried soak results in weirdly chewy-hard mushrooms that look ok but are difficult to eat. For deep flavor, the most aroma, and super luxurious texture, rehydrate dried shiitakes in water for at least 6 hours (I've let them soak for up to 24 hours).
