I love mushrooms, I mean friggin’ LOVE them. It hasn’t always been that way, just ask my dad. He had to bribe me to try them and once I did, wow I never doubted his food suggestions every again – well that’s not true. Anyway, back to my mushroom love fest – they are my favorite! Unfortunately no one in the family appreciates them as much as I do so that leaves the mushroom centric dishes all for me.
Air fryer portobello mushrooms cook up in no time and make for the perfect meatless Monday main dish, awesome side dish or serve as an appetizer with an herbed yogurt sauce.
How to Make Air Fryer Portobello Mushrooms
- Clean the portobellos gently with a damp towel, avoid putting them directly under running water unless they are very dirty. Mushrooms will absorb the water which will alter the taste slightly.
- Mix up your spice blend and oil together using what we suggested or make your own, get creative.
- Brush both sides of the portobellos and place into the air fry basket.
- Set the basket/tray into the preheated air fryer and set timer for 9-11 minutes. Just note that all air fryers are different so cooking time/temp may vary.

Servings: 4
Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 portobello mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt more or less to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp (paper) towel. Then place the portobello mushrooms onto a large plate, baking dish or cutting board.
- Add the oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and garlic powder to a small bowl and mix well.
- Brush both sides of the mushrooms with the spice dressing. If your portobello mushrooms are very big, you might want to add some extra salt, pepper, or garlic powder to ensure good spice coverage.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once the air fryer is heated up, add the mushrooms to the with the cap side down. You can spoon any of the leftover dressing into them at this point. Make sure that the portobello mushrooms fit into the air fryer in one layer without overlap. If you can't fit them in all at once, cook in batches.
- Cook the mushrooms for 6-7 minutes for medium-sized mushrooms, and 8-10 minutes for large portobello mushrooms. Flip them over halfway through the cooking time. Cook time may vary depending on your air fryer and the thickness of the mushrooms, check often for doneness.
- When the portobello mushrooms are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and serve sliced steak house style, as a side dish or use them for a portobello burger.
