Ingredients

  • 4 Portobello mushrooms
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce
  • ¼ cup pepperoni slices

  • 2 tablespoons bell pepper

Instructions

  • Clean the mushrooms by wiping them off with a damp paper towel; avoid running them under water as they easily absorb liquid. Remove the stems, and if desired, remove the mushroom gills as well.

Notes

  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food. For faster cooking time and accuracy, preheating is highly recommended.
  • For smaller air fryers like the Ninja Foodi 4-Quart, reduce the cooking temperature by 20°F (10°C) or decrease the cooking time by 1-2 minutes. Smaller air fryers tend to cook faster and hotter due to the heating element being closer to the food.
  • Avoid washing the mushrooms, as they tend to absorb moisture.
  • The gills of the mushrooms create a dark stain when cooked. However it's not an issue with this recipe as the toppings will completely cover those spores-producing gills. Optionally, you can remove the gills by scraping them with a spoon.
  • I used a 6-quart Instant Vortex Plus to test the Air Fryer Portobello Mushroom Recipe. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
