Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare four shallow dishes for the breading process: milk, flour mixed with garlic and onion seasoning, ranch dressing, and a mixture of panko and dry ranch dressing.
  3. Dip each portobello mushroom cap in milk, then in the flour mixture, followed by ranch dressing, and finally panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Spray the coated mushrooms lightly with nonstick cooking spray and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer.
  5. Air fry the mushrooms at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; if necessary, air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
