Tips to make the perfect crispy breaded Air fried mushrooms.

Use Mushrooms that are close in size to aid even cooking.
Do not soak mushrooms. Clean with a vegetable brush or rinse under warm running water while in a colander then pat dry with paper towel.
Letting mushrooms rest after coating helps the coating stick better as the breadcrumbs would have time to absorb the liquid from the egg.
If making battered or vegan mushrooms don’t forget to let excess batter drip off or the bread crumbs won’t stick.
