Description
Deliciously crispy ranch-seasoned mushrooms cooked in the air fryer for a quick and healthy snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 450 g (1 lb) whole button or cremini mushrooms
- 120 g (1 cup) panko breadcrumbs
- 60 g (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
- 15 g (2 tbsp) cornstarch
- 1 tsp (5 g) garlic powder
- 1 tsp (5 g) onion powder
- 1 packet (28 g) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 large egg + 30 ml (2 tbsp) milk
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Clean and size the mushrooms. Wipe with a damp paper towel, trim stems if necessary for even cooking.
- Mix the dry coatings by combining flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Prepare the ranch panko by stirring panko, ranch seasoning, and neutral oil in a second shallow bowl.
- Make the egg wash by whisking the egg and milk until smooth in a third shallow bowl.
- Bread the mushrooms: dredge in flour mix, dip in egg wash, and press into the panko mix. Place on a plate.
- Arrange mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket, spray lightly with oil, and cook at 200°C (400°F) for 6 minutes. Flip, spray again, and cook for another 4–6 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Check for doneness, let rest briefly on a wire rack, then serve immediately.
Notes
For extra crispiness, use similar-sized mushrooms and avoid overcrowding the air fryer. Optional: add grated Parmesan to the panko for an umami boost.
