Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F; line rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. Whisk flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper in a large bowl; whisk in seltzer water. Place breadcrumbs in a wide, shallow dish. Dip mushrooms in flour mixture to coat, allowing excess to drip off, then dip in breadcrumbs to coat; place on prepared pan.
  2. Preheat a 3-quart or larger air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes; spray mushrooms with nonstick cooking spray. Air fry mushrooms, in 3 batches, 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp, turning once; transfer to rimmed baking pan and keep warm in oven.
  3. Whisk hot sauce and buttery spread in a large bowl; add mushrooms and toss. Makes about 32 mushrooms.
  4. Serve mushrooms sprinkled with onions along with dressing for dipping, if desired.
