Stuff and Air Fry
- Brush each mushroom cap on the outside with a dab of olive oil.
- Stuff each mushroom cap with 1–1½ tbsp of the filling, using a small spoon. Don’t press too hard – you don’t want to crack the caps.
- Arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket, without overlapping.
- Air fry at 190°C for 8–12 minutes.
- Check around the 8th minute; many mushrooms will be done around the 10-minute mark.
- Smaller mushrooms will cook faster, so adjust accordingly.
- Serve hot over a bed of lettuce or salad greens.
