How Long to Cook Stuffed Mushrooms in the Air Fryer
Depending on the size of your mushrooms and the type and size of your air fryer, you may have to adjust the time by 1-2 minutes.
Also, when you’re batching the mushrooms, I recommend cooking all the larger caps at the same time and then the smaller caps at the same time. This will help you cook them as evenly as possible.
What to Do with Extra Mushrooms or Sausage Mixture
Once you’re done stuffing the mushroom caps, there will be leftover sausage mixture.
Lucky you! I recommend storing the extra mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator, then tossing all of it into a batch of spaghetti sauce the next day.
Don’t want to throw out the stems from the mushrooms? You can chop them and add them to the filling mixture!
You could also store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and then use them in mushroom omelets for breakfast. Talk about a nice way to surprise house guests!
Tips for Making the Best Air Fried Stuffed Mushrooms
- I like to measure 2 cups of loose spinach in a measuring cup, then chop it all together. This helps me get the right balance of spinach in my filling.
- For tomatoes, roma are my favorite in this recipe. But if you use larger tomatoes, you will only need one. Try to remove as many seeds as you can while chopping.
- You will have to cook two batches of mushrooms, so pair your larger ones in one batch and smaller ones in another to help them cook evenly.
What to Serve with Stuffed Air Fryer Mushroom Caps
- 5-Ingredient Squash Casserole
- Corn Casserole without Sour Cream
- Green Beans Almondine
- Air Fryer Blooming Onion
- Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes with Garlic
- Mac and Cheese with Cream Cheese
How to Store Leftover Stuffed Mushrooms
Any extra stuffed mushrooms can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Make sure you let them fully cool before storing them to prevent condensation buildup that can make them soggy.
When you’re ready to enjoy, I recommend using the air fryer to reheat your mushrooms. Cook at 370 degrees F for a few minutes until they’re heated all the way through!
