Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400˚F.
Clean the mushrooms by rinsing them or using a damp paper towel to remove loose dirt. If you rinse them, the best way to dry them is in a salad spinner lined with a paper towel.
Slice the mushrooms into ¼" slices. Keep the slices as consistent as possible so they'll air fry evenly. Transfer them to a large bowl or spread them out on a baking sheet.
Whisk the avocado oil, soy sauce, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried thyme, and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Pour the sauce over the sliced mushrooms and gently toss to coat them completely.
Arrange the mushrooms in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer. They can overlap a little, as they shrink quite a bit during the air frying. You may need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your basket.
Air fry for 8 - 10 minutes, tossing the mushrooms after the first 5 minutes. If the mushrooms stick to the air fryer basket, gently loosen them with a silicone spatula and spread back out in the basket. The mushrooms are done when they turn a golden brown with some crispy edges.
Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and additional Parmesan cheese before serving. Serve warm.
