Description
These air-fried oyster mushrooms are breaded twice in buttermilk and seasoned flour, yielding the most crispy, flavorful fried 'shrooms you'll ever eat.
Ingredients
•
4 ounces oyster mushrooms, trimmed
•
1 cup buttermilk
•
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1 teaspoon ground pepper
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1 teaspoon onion powder
•
1 teaspoon paprika
•
1 teaspoon ground mustard
•
non-stick cooking spray
•
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
1
Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Place oyster mushrooms into a bowl and pour buttermilk over top. Toss to coat mushrooms with buttermilk, then marinate for 15 minutes.
3
Add flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and ground mustard to a large resealable bag. Seal the bag and shake until evenly combined.
4
One at a time, take a mushroom out of the buttermilk mixture and drop into the bag of seasoned flour. Toss until coated, then transfer to a plate. Once all mushrooms are coated, repeat the breading step once more (so all mushrooms have been breaded twice) and place mushrooms onto a clean plate.
5
Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Working in batches, spread several breaded mushrooms over the bottom of the basket, making sure not to overcrowd.
6
Air-fry mushrooms for 4 minutes. Liberally brush mushrooms with vegetable oil and air-fry for 4 more minutes. Use tongs to flip the mushrooms over and cook for 2 more minutes. Repeat to air-fry the remaining mushrooms.
