Step 1

If needed, wipe mushrooms down with a damp paper towel to clean them. Do not wash them.

Step 3

Slice mushrooms into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Step 5

Mix dry ingredients (flour, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and pepper) in a bowl.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, beat eggs lightly and mix in 1 tsp of water.

Step 9

Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees.

Step 11

With a fork, dip each mushroom first into the egg batter, then into the dry ingredients, coating thoroughly. Place mushrooms on a plate.

Step 13

Spray all mushrooms with an oil spray, flipping once and being sure to lightly coat all surfaces. No dry flour should remain.

Step 15

Bake in fryer 5-7 minutes depending on size. Shake contents after a few minutes to cook evenly. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in several batches.

Step 17

Wait several minutes for mushrooms to cool. The inside will be VERY hot and will burn your mouth!
