This recipe for Air Fryer Garlic Mushroom Steaks is perfect for your meatless Mondays! These are big, hearty marinated portobello mushroom steaks that can be cooked in the air fryer or on the grill, barbecue and even over a campfire.

Hey guys. Today is all about lazy easy cooking that is not quite cooking. Yeap it really does not get easier or more delicious than Garlic Air Fryer Mushrooms Steaks. They are quick, delicious and packed full of simple flavor. These are the perfect dinner to serve on meatless Mondays, or any night of the week.

If you have time, I highly recommend letting the mushrooms marinate for about 30 minutes so they take in a bit more flavor. However, you can also quickly whip this up and grill the portobello mushroom steaks straightway and they still taste really, really good.

Whilst these grilled mushroom steaks are made in the Air Fryer, they are equally great on the grill, barbeque, campfire or stovetop. Plus you can serve them as a steak or stuff them in a burger with aaaaaaaaaall the trimmings to make a seriously juicy veggie burger.

You might wonder how you get a hardcore carnivore (like my OH) to consider eating a few more veggie only meals? Well, you have a conversation that ends with the word steaks. With your fingers crossed behind your back, of course. It totally works.

Because the temperature of air fryers can vary depending on the make and model, this recipe includes a range of cook times. It is important to keep in mind that the bigger and thicker your mushrooms are, the more cook time will be needed.

This recipe recommends a cooking time of between 8 and 10 minutes. Aim for 8 minutes the first time you make your garlic mushroom, check them for doneness, and then adjust your total cook time from there.
