Don’t knock it till you try it! Believe it or not, this is one of my favourite snacks to make. Who knew eating a bunch of mushrooms would be so fun and taste so good? They also pair brilliantly as a side dish to steak and mashed potatoes, just saying….

Ingredients:

  • 1 bundle of mushrooms, or about 300g
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (or adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Optional Toppings:

  • diced red onion
  • chopped parsley
  • crumbled feta cheese
  • Squeeze of lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Gently clean the mushrooms with a cloth to remove any dirt (avoid rinsing under water to clean).
  2. Season the Mushrooms: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chili flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the mushrooms and toss until evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. Air-Fry: Place the mushrooms in the air fryer and cook at 200°C (400°F) for 8-12 minutes, or until they are golden to your liking. (Alternatively if you don’t have an air fryer, bake in the oven at 425°F; note that it will take longer to cook in the oven than air fryer.)
