Method
Wipe the mushrooms clean, leaving small ones whole and cutting larger ones in half.
Toss the mushrooms with olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic2, thyme, and pepper.
Arrange the mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cook at 200 °C for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the mushrooms are browned and juicy.
Serve immediately, spooning over the juices from the bottom of the basket.
Tips
- Why it works
- Lay the mushrooms in one layer. At 200 °C the air quickly dries the surface, and the mushrooms brown instead of stewing in their own juice.
- Substitutions
- Replace the fresh thyme with 1 g of dried thyme or a pinch of oregano. You can swap the olive oil for the same amount of sunflower oil.
- Common mistakes
- Most often the basket is overloaded. After 10 minutes the mushrooms look pale and shriveled and sit in a pool of juice.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep for up to 2 days in the fridge. Reheat for 3–4 minutes in the air fryer at 180 °C or in a dry pan to drive off the excess moisture.
- Serve with
- Serve with buckwheat, mashed potatoes or as a warm side for dinner.
In short
- Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
