Notes
TOP TIPS for the perfect batch of Air Fried Oyster Mushrooms:
- Don't miss out on scronching the oil into the Panko breadcrumbs, otherwise they don't colour up into that lovely appetizing golden 'fried' effect.
- Air fryer baskets vary in size, so be sure not to overcrowd the basket for the best result.
- Check the mushrooms after 7-8 minutes, as air fryers vary in how quickly they cook.
