Super Simple Air Fryer Grilled King Oyster Mushrooms
How to Make Delicious Grilled King Oyster Mushrooms in an Air Fryer
This is a super simple and lightning-fast recipe for making grilled king oyster mushrooms using an air fryer. Perfect for a quick side dish or a savory snack!
Ingredients- 2 King Oyster Mushrooms
- 2 pinches of salt (or a tiny splash of soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil or Perilla Oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by trimming off the very bottom of the king oyster mushrooms. Rinse them quickly under cool running water and pat them dry thoroughly. Instead of slicing with a knife, tear the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces by hand. This method helps preserve the mushroom’s natural texture, resulting in a more satisfyingly chewy bite.
Step 2
Place the torn mushroom pieces into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle two pinches of salt evenly over the mushrooms. If you like, you can add a tiny drop of soy sauce here for an extra savory flavor boost.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil or perilla oil to the bowl. Gently toss and mix everything together with your hands, ensuring the mushrooms are evenly coated with the seasoning. Be careful not to break the mushroom pieces while mixing.
Step 4
Arrange the seasoned mushrooms in a single layer inside your air fryer basket. Try to avoid overcrowding them so that hot air can circulate evenly around each piece for consistent cooking.
Step 5
Set your air fryer to 160°C (320°F) and cook for 8 minutes. You can check on the mushrooms halfway through and adjust the cooking time if needed, depending on your air fryer’s performance and desired level of crispiness.
Step 6
Once the 8 minutes are up, carefully remove the beautifully grilled mushrooms from the air fryer and arrange them on a serving plate. You’ve now made delicious, chewy, and savory grilled king oyster mushrooms! Enjoy them immediately while they’re warm for the best flavor and texture.
