Cleaning the mushrooms. Remove the stem of the mushroom by helping yourself with a knife.

Gently remove the gills of the mushrooms with a teaspoon. With a damp towel clean the whole mushrooms properly.

Using a sharp knife, cut the mushrooms into strips.

Place them on a flat surface and cover with a dry cloth, cover them with a baking sheet and press lightly, this helps remove excess water.

Prepare the breading station. In a small bowl put the flour and slowly add the water and mix well with a kitchen whisk to create the batter. In a separate bowl put the breadcrumbs, the spices and mix well.

Pass the striped mushrooms first in the batter and then in the breadcrumbs, making sure to cover the entire mushroom surface with breadcrumbs.

Preheat the air fryer for 2 minutes at 365°F (185°C).

Place the mushrooms in the basket of the air fryer, being careful not to overlap them, and then drizzle or spray a little oil on top.

Cook for 5 minutes at 365°F. 

Turn them over and spray some more oil and cook for another 5 minutes.

Crispy breaded mushrooms are ready, serve with sprinkle of salt and your favorite sauce.
