Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1/2 pound (227g) cremini mushrooms, halved (or quartered if large)
  • 1 large yellow onion, cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Place the cremini mushrooms and sliced yellow onion in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, fine sea salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss everything together until the mushrooms and onions are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Air Fry the Vegetables: Transfer the coated mushrooms and onions to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set the air fryer to 400°F (204°C) and cook for 11-13 minutes. At the halfway point (around 6 minutes), open the basket and stir the mushrooms and onions to ensure even cooking and browning.
  3. Check for Doneness: The mushrooms should be browned and tender, while the onions will begin to caramelize and soften but still retain a slight bite. If your basket is smaller or crowded, add approximately 5 more minutes to the total cooking time and stir more frequently for even results.

Notes

  • Cut mushrooms in halves or quarters depending on their size to ensure even cooking.
  • Slice onions 1/4 inch thick so they cook at the same rate as mushrooms; thicker slices remain too firm.
  • The onions won’t soften as much as sautéed onions, retaining a pleasant slight firmness.
  • Using an air fryer with a capacity similar to 5.8 quarts is ideal; smaller air fryers need more cooking time and stirring.
