Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • Nonstick cooking spray

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to prepare for air frying the mushrooms.
  2. Set up breading station: Arrange four shallow dishes in a row: pour milk into the first; mix flour and garlic and onion seasoning in the second; add ranch dressing to the third; and combine panko bread crumbs with dry ranch dressing mix in the fourth.
  3. Bread mushrooms: Dip each mushroom cap into the milk first, then coat it in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the mushroom in ranch dressing, then press it into the panko breadcrumb mixture to ensure an even coating.
  4. Prepare for air frying: Place the breaded mushrooms in a shallow air fryer pan or directly in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the mushrooms with nonstick cooking spray to help them crisp up during cooking.
  5. Air fry mushrooms: Cook the mushrooms in the air fryer at 400 degrees F for about 7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Notes

  • Make sure to clean the portobello mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to avoid sogginess.
  • You can customize the seasoning blend in the flour to taste, adding more garlic or onion powder as desired.
  • For extra crispiness, flip the mushrooms halfway through the air frying process.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
  • These mushrooms make a great appetizer or side to dips like ranch or blue cheese dressing.
