How long to air fry mushrooms
Depending on the size of mushrooms used, the cooking times will vary a little bit. At 400° Fahrenheit, it will take around 10 minutes to cook the mushrooms. Some notes from my recipe testing:
- Cut the mushrooms in half if you’re using larger cremini or button mushrooms. You want them about bite-size.
- Smaller mushrooms can be left whole.
- If your air fryer doesn’t preheat, the cooking time might be a little longer. Watch the mushrooms closely at the end of the cook time and add more time if needed.
- Don’t overcook the mushrooms, they will get too soft and watery.

These were delicious! I had to substitute for dried herbs…and they were still good. I bet fresh herbs would make these taste even better! Your recipes never disappoint!
