Oyster mushrooms cook in the air fryer in approximately 10–15 minutes at 360°F.
Dry the mushrooms thoroughly before seasoning so they roast rather than steam. Arrange them in a loose layer and cook in batches when necessary.
Air frying concentrates the mushrooms’ natural flavor while using only a small amount of oil. Their meaty texture makes them especially satisfying alongside steak, chicken or fish, and they can also add depth to salads or vegetable bowls.
