    Roasted Oyster Mushrooms (Air Fryer or Oven!)

    These simple roasted oyster mushrooms are a perfect four-ingredient side that comes together in 30 minutes! Great on salads, tacos, sandwiches and pasta or as a standalone side.

    Ingredients

    • ½ lb oyster mushrooms
    • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper

    Instructions

    • Slice the stem end of half a pound of oyster mushrooms. Separate them into bite-sized individual pieces. Wash them under running water quickly and then dry them thoroughly using a kitchen towel.
    • Preheat the oven to 360°F or the air-fryer to 425°F
    • Add oyster mushrooms to a mixing bowl along with one tablespoon of avocado oil, one teaspoon of salt, and half a teaspoon of black pepper. Use your hands or tongs to coat them properly. Then, transfer to air fryer tray or basket, or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Air Fryer: If air-frying, roast at 400°F for 10 minutes, then flip the mushrooms, and roast again for another 5 to 10 minutes, checking after the 5 minute interval to ensure optimal crispness!
    • Baking: If using an oven, roast the oyster mushrooms at 360°F for 10 minutes. Then, flip, and roast for another 5 to 15 minutes. After the 5th minute, check in 3 minute intervals to ensure optimal crispness. It took me 25 minutes for my oyster mushrooms to be fully roasted.
    • Enjoy as-is, or garnish with a squeeze of lemon juice, parsely and/or hard cheese of your choice!

    Notes

    • Air-fryer and oven timings provided as a reference point. However, each individual oven and air-fryer can be quite different (as will the sizes of the mushrooms and shallot slices) - so please check in reasonable increments to make sure you're getting to the right level of roasting! 
    • You can use any mushroom in the recipe if oyster mushrooms aren't available, just make sure to watch oven or air fryer for browning (since times can be different!)
