Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic and onion seasoning
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix

Main Ingredient

  • 8 ounces portobello mushroom caps, cleaned

Other

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the mushrooms and breading station.
  2. Prepare the breading station: Lay out four shallow dishes. Place the milk in the first dish, the flour mixed with garlic and onion seasoning in the second, ranch dressing in the third, and finally mix the panko bread crumbs with the dry ranch dressing mix in the fourth dish.
  3. Bread the mushrooms: Take each portobello mushroom cap and dip it into the milk first to moisten. Next, coat it evenly with the seasoned flour, followed by dipping into the ranch dressing for rich flavor, and finally press into the panko and dry ranch dressing mixture to form a crispy crust.
  4. Arrange in the air fryer: Place the breaded mushrooms in the air fryer basket or pan in a single layer to ensure proper air circulation. Lightly spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray to help achieve a golden-brown finish.
  5. Air fry the mushrooms: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for about 7 minutes or until the mushrooms are golden, crispy, and cooked through. Check for doneness and adjust time if necessary depending on your air fryer model.

Notes

  • Ensure mushrooms are cleaned thoroughly but pat dry to help the breading stick better.
  • Use a light spray of cooking oil to achieve a crisp texture; too much oil can make the coating soggy.
  • Portobello mushroom caps can be sliced if preferred for smaller bite-sized pieces.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor; leftovers can be reheated but may lose crispiness.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and ranch dressing with vegan alternatives but note flavor changes.
