We love these breaded mushrooms made in the air fryer. They are a wonderful snack that I can pair with any lean protein for a healthy snack, lunch or dinner.

Need a game day spread? Make sure to include a batch of these mushrooms with some of those healthy dips and sauces found in the Trim Healthy Mama Books and blogs.

How I Make These Breaded Mushrooms 

There are a few trick to making these breaded mushrooms. I have found that when I whip my egg whites with a small amount of xanthan gum they hold the air that has been whipped into them a bit better than without it. Adding a small amount of THM Baking Blend and some seasonings bumps up the flavor of the batter and breading.

You can use this Hubby Lovin’ Seasoning Mix as an alternative breading with mushrooms, onion rings and other breaded and air fried vegetables.

** Special Note for Egg Free Mama’s **

I have tested this using aquafaba as an egg replacement and it worked exactly like the ones using the egg white. If you use a different egg replacement I would love to hear your results.

Preheating The Air Fryer

I always recommend preheating your air fryer. In my experience with the various models of air fryers that I have used, preheating your fryer gives you the best results. Sure it will work if you don’t but the cooking times will vary greatly depending on the size and style of your air fryer.
