Ingredients

  • 3 large portabello mushroom caps
  • ½ cup (62.5 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (216 g) panko breadcrumbs, plain
  • ½ cup (50 g) Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ranch dressing, for dipping

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer* to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  • Clean the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel. Remove stems and scrape out the gills with a spoon.
  • Slice mushrooms into ½-inch strips.
  • To one shallow bowl, add flour.
  • To a second bowl, add eggs. Whisk to combine.
  • In a third bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Dredge each mushroom strip in the flour, shaking off the excess.
  • Dip into the beaten eggs, coating completely.
  • Roll strips in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs stick.
  • Arrange the breaded mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to work in batches.)
  • Spray the mushrooms lightly with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
  • Cook for 7-9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve warm with ranch dressing for dipping.
