Description
This Air Fryer Mushrooms and Onions recipe requires just 5 ingredients and 5 minutes prep time, and makes a delicious side dish for steak, pork and chicken, or as a topping for burgers and pizza!
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, halved (or quartered, if large)
- 1 large yellow onion, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add the mushrooms and onions to a large bowl and toss with oil, salt and pepper.
- Place the mushrooms and onions in the air fryer basket and air fry on 400F for 15-17 minutes, stirring at the halfway point.
- Serve immediately and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- As the mushrooms shrink, I usually cut them in half instead of into thin slices. If your mushrooms are large, you may want to quarter them.
- The onions are cut into 1/2-inch slices, so they get soft but not mushy. If you like your onions on the softer side, try cutting them into smaller slices.
- The onions will get soft and translucent and start to caramelize around the edges a bit at about 15 minutes. If you want them caramelized a bit more, air fry for another few minutes. Be sure not to over air fry them as they will start to dry out and burn.
- I used a Philips 2.75 quart air fryer to make this recipe. If you’re using a different brand, model and/or size, you may need to adjust the temperature or air frying time slightly.
