Notes
Pro Tips: Ensure mushrooms are dry before cooking for crispiness. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Experiment with herbs like thyme or rosemary for additional flavor. Use clarified butter for richer taste.
Ingredient Substitutions: Try using olive oil instead of butter for a lighter option. Swap parsley for cilantro for a different flavor profile.
How to Serve: Best served hot as a side dish or appetizer. Pairs well with grilled meats or fish.
Storage & Freshness: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for crispiness.
