⭐Remove from the air fryer and place in a small bowl. Toss with garlic butter and parsley.
⭐Serve warm.

NOTES:
◾No Garlic Butter? No Problem! Mix one small clove of garlic (if your clove is large, just use half unless you love a big kick of garlic) with 1/4 cup of salted butter and a pinch of parsley. Melt 1 tablespoon for this recipe and slather the rest on French bread or serve as steak butter on Air Fryer Steaks!

◾To wash mushrooms give them a quick rinse in a colander, gently brush off any dirt and pat them dry.

◾Don’t toss with the soy sauce until just before cooking.

◾For the best air fryer mushrooms, be sure to preheat the Air Fryer before cooking.

◾Avoid crowding the basket so they can get crispy all around. If cooking for a crowd, cook a couple of batches and then heat both for 1 minute or so before serving.
