Air Fryer Recipe*
Ingredients:
1 lb of any oyster mushrooms pulled apart into individual fans
1 egg, beaten
1-1.5 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
¼ C coconut oil, melted
Directions:
Preheat airfryer to 425F. Thoroughly coat mushrooms in egg, followed by a quick toss in breadcrumbs and then place in airfryer for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a plate lined with paper towel and salt to taste while still hot. Cook in batches and serve as an appetizer with a sauce of your choosing (chipotle or tartar sauce are great options!)
Methods described above are using an InstantPot air fryer fitted with two baking racks; cooking temperatures may vary, be sure to experiment with cooking times to match your needs.
Alternate Coatings to Experiment With:
Vegan Option: Flour Seasoned with paprika, garlic, onion and turmeric powder mixed with water until smooth, save half of the dry flour mixture for a second coating
Buttermilk + Panko & Flour seasoned with Paprika + Cumin
Cook time 30 minutes - serves 2
