Air-frying mushrooms extracts some of their moisture, making their flavor more concentrated and their texture meatier. Don’t worry if the basket seems quite full when the mushrooms first go in; as they cook, they shrink. You will need to stop and shake the basket halfway through the cook time to ensure the mushrooms cook evenly. Though fresh garlic has more pungency, we opt for garlic powder here because it covers more evenly and won’t burn. Serve with grilled steak or pork, spoon over sautéed chicken breasts, or pile atop a grain bowl.
