Instructions
Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel or soft brush. Avoid soaking them in water.
Slice the mushrooms into an even, quarter-inch thickness for consistent cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the mushrooms with olive oil, garlic paste, sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Spread the mushrooms in a single, even layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously at the 7-minute mark to ensure even browning.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes; avoid the microwave to maintain texture.
