Why this recipe works
Roasted mushrooms instead of watery slices
Mushrooms are mostly made of water. Small slices shrink strongly in the air fryer and dry out before they develop roasted aromas. Halve small and fourth very large mushrooms. Acid only comes after cooking, so that the surface remains as dry as possible during the hot phase.

Tips for Air Fryer Mushrooms
Basket not overloaded
Mushrooms release water. If they lie close to each other, dampen them and remain bright instead of roasting.
Lemon afterward
Acid before cooking makes the surface moister. Lemon juice adheres well to the hot mushrooms even after roasting.
