- Slowly pour the cold beer into the flour mixture while whisking continuously, until you have a smooth wet batter. Adjust the amount of beer if needed to achieve a slightly thick, yet pourable consistency.
- Dip each mushroom into the batter, coating it thoroughly. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- Lightly spray or brush the air fryer basket with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
- Arrange the battered mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch each other.
- Air fry the mushrooms at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. They should turn golden brown and crispy.
