Health Benefits of Mushrooms

Did you know that mushrooms, including crimini mushrooms, are actually a kind of fungus? They are also one of the most popular mushrooms to cook with around the world! They come in two colors – white and brown.

Besides tasting great, mushrooms have some great health benefits! They contain many important vitamins and minerals, making them a wonderful addition to your diet. Not to mention, they are low-calorie and make a good swap for meat in vegetarian dishes.

Additionally, crimini mushrooms are an excellent source of zinc, which is a vital trace element for your immune system. Other key health benefits of mushrooms include potassium, fiber, and anti-oxidants.

In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk well. Then add some breadcrumbs to a plate.

You will also need to lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking, or brush with vegetable or olive oil.

Make sure your mushrooms are cleaned and the stems removed before starting.

    I couldn’t wait for lunch Melanie. Thank you for this recipe. I’ve recently been eating plant-based food so I used a tempura batter instead. The real value in your article for me is the cooking technique. Your time and temp worked great! Delicious result. Thanks again!!
