Method
 

Clean Mushrooms
  1. Gently wipe away any dirt with a paper towel. Do not wet them. Remove stems and shred the tops into appropriate sized appetizer pieces.
Batter
  1. Combine semolina flour, panko, and any seasonings in a large shallow bowl. Place the unsweetened non-dairy milk into a separate shallow bowl.
  2. Dip each mushroom into the milk and then dredge into the batter mixture. Place in the air fryer.
  3. Working in batches, fry the mushrooms until they are golden brown. I like to check mine every 5 minutes.

Notes

*You can use any type of spices. Oregano, basil, and parsley would work well.
