What do I serve with air fried mushrooms?
We love snacking on easy air fryer mushrooms, and enjoy dipping them in our favorite dipping sauce.
You should taste them dipped in blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, sriracha aioli, and sour cream and chives – they are sensational!
Now, this may be a little bit unusual, but we also love mushrooms dipped in pesto, the cheesy, nutty flavor is fantastic with the mushrooms!
Are you craving a little more than a snack?
Make a big bed of mashed potatoes and put the mushrooms on top – they’re delicious!
Of course, air fryer mushrooms are also great as a side dish.
Eat them alongside a veggie burger, nut roast, lentil loaf, or mashed potato fritters.

What are the best mushrooms to cook in an air fryer?
You’ll need fresh clean mushrooms
We use baby bella mushrooms (baby chestnut mushrooms).
But you could use regular button cremini mushrooms also.
Naturally, you can air fry most mushrooms, but the flavors and timings change.
Portobello mushrooms are lovely but need slightly longer in the air fryer.
What is the best air fryer to use?
There are so many different makes and models of air fryers around these days, and we can’t claim to have tried them all.
This is the air fryer that we use and love.
Instant Pot Vortex 4-in-1 Air Fryer 5.7L
Our favorite air fryer is the Instant pot Vortex and we like this for its intuitive display, the filter stops lasting food smells, and you can see your food cooking through the glass panel and light function.
We love it because it cooks perfectly, is very quiet, and has a window so you can check on the food without having to open the air fryer.
Play with the flavors
We love our air fryer mushrooms, but with all of our recipes, we encourage you to experiment!
Once you’ve cooked the recipe, see what you would add to make it perfect for YOU.
