After many experiments and lots of testing, I've worked out How to Air Fry Sliced Mushrooms to perfection. They're buttery but not greasy, fully cooked through and a little crispy but not at all dry. They're ideal as a tasty side for breakfasts, steaks and for stuffing into sandwiches or adding to other dishes.

Ingredients

200 g Mushrooms
20 g Salted Butter
⅛ tsp Sea Salt Flakes

Instructions

If your air fryer requires pre-heating, start this setting now.
Prepare your dish for in the air fryer. I prefer to use aluminium foil to create a tray just slightly smaller than my basket. Whatever you use, it should be thin so heat is easily conducted and it should have low sides to contain the butter.
Slice 200g Muchrooms into thick slices, around ½cm or ¼".
Once heated, add the tray and the sliced mushroom to the air fryer.
Cut up and dot 20g Salted Butter over the mushrooms along with ⅛ tsp Sea Salt Flakes.
Cook for 6 minutes at 200c/390f.
Give the mushrooms a quick toss and cook for a further 2 minutes at 200c/390f.
Serve!

Notes

This recipe is tested in a Cosori Lite (‎CAF-LI401S) with a 3.8 litre capacity. The square(ish) shaped basket is 21cm x 21cm and 24cm on the diagonal.
Not all models advise preheating is required. Please follow the recommended instructions for your model. Mine has a specific preheat setting which is 4 minutes at 205c.
For this recipe, I can comfortably cook 200g of mushrooms in the basket at one time. More mushrooms will fit but they may need to be turned more often and the cooking time may increase slightly.
As all air fryer models are a little different, you may find that you can fit more or less in at a time. Some models include stacking shelves which will increase capacity.
Required cooking times and temperatures can also vary between models and brands. If you know that your air fryer runs a little hotter than most recipes suggest, use a lower temperature. And vice versa. Equally if you find that food cooks more quickly in your machine than instructions usually state, reduce the cooking time (or check it earlier) and vice versa.
