Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) baby portobello or button mushrooms, cleaned and halved
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers for extra crunch)
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In one bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour milk into another bowl, and place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Dip each mushroom into the flour mixture, then milk, then back into the flour again for extra coating.
- Toss coated mushrooms in ranch dressing until lightly covered, then roll in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
- Lightly spray mushrooms with olive oil and arrange them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 10–12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Serve immediately with extra ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- You can use crushed crackers instead of breadcrumbs for an extra-crunch finish.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and ensure your flour is gluten-free.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket; cook in batches if needed for even crispiness.
- Best served hot with extra ranch or your preferred dipping sauce.
