🍄 Crispy Garlic Mushroom Bites

Ingredients

• 12–15 button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed

• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

• 1 tsp paprika or smoked paprika (optional)

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven or air fryer

   • Oven: 400°F (200°C)

   • Air fryer: 375°F (190°C)

2. Prepare mushrooms
   Toss mushrooms in olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Cook mushrooms

   • Oven: Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake 15–20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and slightly crispy.

   • Air fryer: Cook 10–12 minutes, shaking basket halfway through.

4. Add Parmesan
   Sprinkle Parmesan over mushrooms for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking (optional) for extra crispiness and flavor.

5. Serve
   Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side.

Tips

• Smaller mushrooms cook faster and get crispier.

• Don’t overcrowd the pan — for best crispiness, mushrooms need space.

• Can add a dash of balsamic glaze after baking for a sweet-savory finish.

I can also give you a crispy fried version, air fryer only version, or a spicy garlic-herb twist if you want.
