5. Fried Mushrooms

This air-fried mushroom recipe from My Healthy Dish makes a great starter for you and a few friends. It takes a little more work than the other TikTok recipes, but it’s totally worth it in the end.

Directions:

Crack an egg into a bowl and add a few drops of Sriracha sauce.
In another bowl, add flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
Dip the mushrooms between the flour and egg wash to coat them twice. After the second dip in the egg wash, roll the mushrooms in panko breadcrumbs.
Spray the inside of your air fryer with cooking spray.
Place the mushrooms inside the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
While your mushrooms cook, add chives to sour cream to make a yummy dipping sauce. When your ‘shrooms are done, get snacking!
