❓ Q & A

Q: Can I use frozen mushrooms?

A: Fresh mushrooms are best. Frozen mushrooms release too much moisture and won’t brown well.

Q: What type of mushrooms work best?

A: Button, cremini, baby bella, or even sliced portobello mushrooms all work great.

Q: Can I make this dairy-free?

A: Yes! Replace butter with vegan butter or extra olive oil.

Q: Why are my mushrooms soggy?

A: Overcrowding or too much liquid causes steaming instead of roasting.

Q: Can I add other seasonings?

A: Absolutely. Try thyme, rosemary, smoked paprika, or soy sauce for umami flavor.

Q: How do I store leftovers?

A: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes.

Q: Can I use this as a topping?

A: Yes! These mushrooms are amazing on steak, chicken, pasta, burgers, or toast.
