Tips to make the perfect crispy breaded Air fried mushrooms.

• Use Mushrooms that are close in size to aid even cooking.
• Do not soak mushrooms. Clean with a vegetable brush or rinse under warm running water while in a colander then pat dry with paper towel.
• Letting mushrooms rest after coating helps the coating stick better as the breadcrumbs would have time to absorb the liquid from the egg.
• If making battered or vegan mushrooms don’t forget to let excess batter drip off or the bread crumbs won’t stick.
