- Garnish and Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the sautéed mushrooms and onions from the air fryer basket.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or thyme, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness.
- Serve the air-fried sautéed mushrooms and onions as a delicious side dish alongside grilled meats, pasta, rice, or as a topping for burgers or sandwiches.
Note: Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size and thickness of your mushroom slices and onion slices. Adjust cooking time as needed for desired doneness and caramelization.
