Ingredients

Scale

Dipping Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic and onion seasoning
  • ½ cup ranch dressing

Breading Ingredients

  • ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix

Main Ingredient

  • 8 ounces portobello mushroom caps, cleaned
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Although this step mentions the oven, the primary cooking is done in an air fryer.
  2. Set up breading station: Prepare four shallow dishes – place milk in the first dish; mix all-purpose flour and garlic and onion seasoning in the second; place ranch dressing in the third; and mix panko bread crumbs with dry ranch dressing mix in the fourth.
  3. Bread mushrooms: Take each cleaned portobello mushroom cap and dip it sequentially into the milk, then the seasoned flour (shake off excess), then ranch dressing, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko and dry ranch mix.
  4. Prepare for air frying: Arrange the breaded mushrooms in a shallow air fryer pan or in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray them with nonstick cooking spray to help achieve a golden, crispy texture.
  5. Air fry mushrooms: Cook the mushrooms in the air fryer until golden and crispy, which will take about 7 minutes. This quick air frying method ensures a crunchy exterior with tender mushrooms inside.

Notes

  • Make sure mushrooms are clean and dry before breading to help the coating stick better.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding, ensuring even cooking and crispiness.
  • Use nonstick spray lightly to prevent sogginess and help achieve a crispy crust.
  • The dry ranch dressing mix adds extra flavor to the breadcrumbs, amplifying the ranch taste.
  • This recipe is best served immediately for optimal crunchiness.
