Serving Suggestions
These tasty air fryer mushrooms make a fantastic side dish! Try them alongside a juicy steak, mixed into pasta, or topped on a homemade pizza. They’re also great on top of salads or tucked into sandwiches. For a quick appetizer, serve them with toothpicks and watch them disappear!
Quick Substitutions
While this recipe calls for canned mushrooms, you can also use fresh ones – just slice them and add an extra 2-3 minutes to the cooking time. Not a fan of garlic salt? Regular salt and garlic powder work just as well! You can also swap the Worcestershire sauce with soy sauce or even a splash of balsamic vinegar for a different flavor twist.
Storage Tips
Keep any leftover mushrooms in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, just pop them back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350°F. They’re also pretty tasty cold, mixed into a salad! Just remember – these tasty morsels might get a bit drier after being stored, so you might want to add a tiny splash of Worcestershire sauce when reheating.
Air Fryer Tips
Want the best results? Give your mushrooms a little shake halfway through cooking – this helps them cook evenly. If you’re making a bigger batch, don’t overcrowd the bowl – the mushrooms need some space to get that nice roasted flavor. And hey, if you like them extra crispy, just add another minute or two to the cooking time!
