Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup ranch dressing
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
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for crisping the mushrooms evenly.
- Prepare Bread Station: Set up four shallow dishes for your breading process. In the first, add milk. In the second, combine the all-purpose flour with garlic and onion seasoning. In the third dish, pour the ranch dressing. Finally, in the fourth dish, mix the panko bread crumbs with dry ranch dressing mix.
- Bread Mushrooms: Take each mushroom cap and dip it first into the milk, then coat it in the seasoned flour mixture shaking off any excess. Next, dip the mushroom into the ranch dressing, then dredge it thoroughly in the panko and dry ranch mixture to form an even coating.
- Arrange and Spray: Place the breaded mushrooms in a single layer on a shallow air fryer pan or directly in the air fryer basket. Generously spray the mushrooms with nonstick cooking spray to help achieve a golden, crispy finish.
- Air Fry: Cook the mushrooms in the preheated air fryer for about 7 minutes or until the breading is golden brown and crispy. Check for doneness and cook a little longer if needed, ensuring the mushrooms remain tender on the inside.
Notes
- For best results, make sure mushrooms are dry before starting the breading process to help the coating stick better.
- You can use any type of mushroom caps, but portobello works best for size and texture.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through for even crispness.
- Use a nonstick spray generously to get a crispy exterior without frying in oil.
- Serve immediately for the best crunch and flavor.
