Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup ranch dressing

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic and onion seasoning
  • ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix

Main Ingredient

  • 8 ounces portobello mushroom caps, cleaned

Others

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking the mushrooms to a crispy finish.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: Prepare four shallow dishes for coating. Place milk in the first bowl, mix flour and garlic and onion seasoning in the second, ranch dressing in the third, and combine panko bread crumbs with dry ranch dressing mix in the fourth.
  3. Bread the Mushrooms: Dip each cleaned portobello mushroom cap into the milk, then coat with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Next, dip into the ranch dressing, and finally, coat thoroughly with the seasoned panko bread crumb mixture.
  4. Prepare for Air Frying: Arrange the breaded mushrooms in a single layer on a shallow air fryer pan or directly in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the mushrooms with nonstick cooking spray to help create an even golden crust.
  5. Air Fry: Cook the mushrooms in the air fryer at 400 degrees F for about 7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Check for doneness and adjust time slightly if needed.

Notes

  • Make sure to clean the mushrooms properly before breading to ensure freshness and good texture.
  • Use nonstick cooking spray generously to achieve a crisp exterior without oiling excessively.
  • You can substitute buttermilk for milk for a tangier flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning levels in the breading to suit your taste.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
  • These mushrooms make a great appetizer or side dish with dips like ranch or blue cheese.
