    You do not need to wash or rinse mushrooms before cooking, the best way to clean mushrooms is by wiping them with a damp paper towel or simply brushing the dirt off with a pastry brush.

    If you are still in doubt then you can peel off the outer part of the mushroom.

    I used the following ingredients and seasoning on my mushrooms.  In my opinion, I believe less is more when seasoning this earthy and tender vegetable.

    Tips

    • Slice the mushrooms into similar thickness so that it cooks evenly
    • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket with the sliced mushrooms otherwise it would steam instead of roasting.
    • There is no need to preheat the air fryer for this recipe
    • Air fryer mushroom cooking time will depend on the thickness of the mushroom. Check on it every 5 minutes to be able to determine how much longer it would need to cook. Also, note that the wattage of your air fryer will play a part in how long to cook for.
