Marinate:

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Add the mushrooms to the bowl and toss them until well-coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.

Air Fry:

Check for Doneness:

Serve:

2. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
