Begin by thoroughly rinsing and gently patting dry your baby mushrooms. This ensures they are clean and ready for coating.
Arrange three bowls on your kitchen workspace. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second, crack and whisk an egg until it’s uniformly beaten. In the third, create a flavorful blend by mixing breadcrumbs with dried onion, marjoram, paprika, salt, and pepper. This trio of bowls is your key to the perfect coating.
It's time to coat the mushrooms. First, gently roll them in the flour, ensuring a light, even coating. Next, dip each mushroom into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, lovingly coat them in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture. Perform these steps in batches to manage the process efficiently, transferring the coated mushrooms to a separate clean bowl.
Power up your air fryer, setting it to 360°F (180°C). It’s crucial to let it reach the temperature for optimal cooking.
Once your air fryer is preheated, line the basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Carefully place the breaded mushrooms in the basket, spreading them out evenly for uniform cooking.
Let the mushrooms cook in the air fryer for about 12 minutes. Keep an eye on them and look for that beautiful golden brown hue.
Transfer the golden, crispy mushrooms to a serving dish. Serve them piping hot as a side dish or a mouth-watering appetizer, paired with your favorite dipping sauce.
