Marinade and Mushrooms
- 2 medium portobello mushroom caps
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Clean mushrooms: Rinse the portobello mushroom caps under cool water and gently pat them dry thoroughly with a clean towel to remove any dirt.
- Mix marinade: In a small bowl, combine Worcestershire sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt. Stir well to blend all the flavors.
- Brush mushrooms: Use a basting brush to apply the marinade evenly over both sides of the mushroom caps. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Air fry: Place the mushrooms gill side-up in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (204°C) for 5 minutes to begin the cooking process.
- Finish cooking: Flip the mushrooms over and continue to air fry for an additional 4 to 8 minutes until the mushrooms are nicely browned and tender throughout.
- Garnish and serve: Remove mushrooms from the air fryer and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- Adjust the salt according to your taste preference since Worcestershire and soy sauce are already salty.
- You can add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the marinade for extra tanginess if desired.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of the mushrooms and your air fryer model.
- Serve as a vegetarian main dish or as a savory side to grilled meats or steamed vegetables.
- To keep mushrooms moist, avoid overcooking as they can become dry and tough.
