Make the best Stuffed Mushrooms with these Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms!
I have to say I love Stuffed Mushrooms, I also happen to love these Grilled Mushrooms too. Now though I make them easily with the air fryer.
These Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms have become a crowd favorite around here. Honestly, they are just easier to make in the air fryer without having to turn on my oven. If you prefer them made in the oven though, you can view this recipe.
There are a few things I like to keep on hand for some tasty stuffed mushrooms.
What do you need for Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms?
- Portobello Mushrooms
- Ground Sausage
- Cream Cheese
- Parsley
- Garlic
- Parmesan Cheese
Tips for Making Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms:
First, I suggest cooking the ground sausage in advance. If you have a Ninja Foodi, you can cook it right in the pot of the Ninja Foodi on saute. It’s that simple.
The meat can also be prepped in advance and then freeze it until you are ready to use it.
Once you are ready to make the stuffed mushrooms, you will want to blend all the ingredients in a food processor. This gives them the perfect consistency for stuffing.
I actually put about half of the stems from the mushrooms back in the food processor and blend those right in. It’s a great way to use the stems without going to waste. That means if I am making 24 mushrooms, I’ll use the stems of 12 mushrooms.
Do you use oil when cooking mushrooms in the air fryer?
I highly recommend always having a bottle of Olive Oil Cooking Spray available when using the air fryer. Before you put the mushrooms in, you will want to spray the bottom of the basket or foil with it.
Then, once you have the mushrooms ready to cook, give it another good spray of olive oil spray. This helps the food avoid drying out while it quickly cooks.
When should you wash mushrooms?
Always wash the mushrooms right before you plan to use them to avoid them getting too slimy!
Can you freeze stuffed mushrooms?
You can freeze them before you plan to cook them. I prefer to make them fresh and eat them quickly after. It’s going to come down to personal preference.
I feel that they have the best flavor when made fresh and served fresh.

This might be a silly question to ask, but since I’m not exactly a big fan of cream cheese, is there any substitute for it? Thanks in advance!
You could try other types like cottage cheese or sour cream, but I’ve only done it with cream cheese so I’m not sure how well they’d hold or taste.
I bet you could use ricotta cheese or cottage cheese blended well.
I often substitute neufchatel…same consistency without the tang of cream cheese.
What temp/how long?
Ummm…instruction number 7….
THANK YOU! READ!!!!
Could these be cooked up in a toaster oven instead of an air fryer ?
Yes, most likely – here is the oven instructions – https://www.mommyhatescooking.com/garden-fresh-fridays-stuffed-portobello-mushrooms
I use goat cheese instead of cream cheese.
That’s a great idea!
these were sooooooo yummy, better than expected! a great, easy side for Italian food that isn’t bread or salad! will definitely be making these again.
Hi there! Would you happen to know if the taste/texture is any different if using air fryer, oven or toaster oven?
I think they all taste the same.
I tried the sweet potato fries today, absolutely delicious!! Loved them!
Can’t wait to try the butternut squash!
Not bad…. If you want to upgrade, try stuffing the mushrooms with crab cake! A wee bit of butter followed by about a third of a crab cake. (Because I like crab cake) Bake and then finish by melting some cheese on top. I like a nice white cheese but do your own thing. If you really want to go top shelf soak the mushrooms in some wine before you prepare them.
I like the way you eat (think)!!! A balanced flavor for a perfect taste !!!!
