Air Fryer Mushrooms and Onions

In this easy side dish, the mushrooms’ deep umami plays off the savory-sweet notes in the caramelized onions. Tossing the quick-roasted vegetables with thyme, lemon zest, and parsley elevates the flavors beyond your everyday side dish. For a sprinkle of decadence, add in some shaved parmesan or pecorino.

Transform this side into a meal by serving it alongside grilled steak or on top of your favorite air fried proteins, like chicken or salmon.

Ingredients:

• 2 cloves garlic, minced 
• 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil 
• 4 tsp. fresh lemon juice, plus 1/4 tsp. finely grated lemon zest for serving
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 lb. baby bella or button mushrooms, halved, quartered if large 
• 1 small yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced 
• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley 
• 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves

Directions:

1. Step 1: In a large heatproof bowl, whisk garlic, oil, lemon juice, salt, and Worcestershire to combine. Add mushrooms and onion and toss until oil mixture is completely absorbed by mushrooms (this will take about 30 seconds).
2. Step 2: Working in batches if necessary, in an air-fryer basket, spoon mushroom mixture in a single layer; reserve bowl. Cook at 400°, tossing a few times to ensure even cooking, until mushrooms and onions are tender and golden, 13 to 15 minutes.
3. Step 3: Return hot mushroom mixture to reserved bowl. Toss with parsley, thyme, and lemon zest.
