Description

This easy and flavorful recipe features golden, crispy air-fried chestnut mushrooms served on toasted sourdough bread. Infused with thyme and garlic powder, the mushrooms make a perfect savory topping, enhanced by optional fresh parsley and a garlic rub on the toast for an aromatic finish. A quick and healthy snack or light meal that highlights the benefits of air frying for a crisp texture without excess oil.

Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms

  • 300g chestnut mushrooms, quartered or sliced
  • A few thyme sprigs, leaves picked
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil or other neutral oil, plus extra for the bread
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to season

Toast

  • 2 slices of sourdough bread
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled but left whole (optional)
  • Small handful of chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mushrooms: Tip the quartered or sliced mushrooms into a bowl. Scatter over the picked thyme leaves and garlic powder, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly to combine the flavors. Drizzle over 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and mix again to evenly coat the mushrooms.
  2. Air-fry the mushrooms: Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (approx. 400°F), if your model requires preheating. Once ready, place the seasoned mushrooms into the air fryer basket in a single layer for even cooking. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking or stirring the mushrooms halfway through to allow them to brown evenly. You want the mushrooms golden and starting to crisp up at the edges.
  3. Toast the bread: A few minutes before the mushrooms finish, toast your sourdough slices until golden and crisp. If using, rub the warm toast with the whole garlic clove for extra flavor. Drizzle lightly with a little vegetable oil to add richness and moisture.
  4. Assemble and serve: Spoon the hot air-fried mushrooms generously onto the toasted sourdough. Scatter with chopped parsley if using for a fresh herbal note. Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • Use a neutral oil like vegetable or canola to allow the mushroom flavor to shine.
  • Adjust cooking time depending on your air fryer model and mushroom size.
  • Rubbing the toast with garlic adds a subtle extra aroma but can be omitted if preferred.
  • Chestnut mushrooms work best for texture; button mushrooms can be used as a substitute.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispness.
