Ingredients
  

  • 1.0 lb baby bella mushrooms
  • 4.0 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4.0 cloves garlic
  • 1.0 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2.0 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • 0.0 pieces lemon wedges

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Mushrooms: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cleaned baby bella mushrooms with melted butter, ensuring they are well-coated.
  • Mix Spices: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the butter-coated mushrooms and toss again to ensure even distribution.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This helps the mushrooms cook evenly and develop that perfect golden-brown crust.
  • Air Fry the Mushrooms: Place the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper air circulation. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are tender and golden.
  • Add Parmesan Cheese: Once the mushrooms are cooked, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms and air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish and Serve: Carefully remove the mushrooms from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a zesty finish. Enjoy your delicious, buttery garlic parm mushrooms!
