A surprisingly quick appetizer to make, you are sure to love these spinach, artichoke and goat cheese Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms.
I learned a trick from America’s Test Kitchen a long time ago in regards to stuffed mushrooms. Mushrooms contain a lot of liquid. And so precooking them before stuffing helps improve both the texture and flavor of this popular appetizer. Even with cooking the mushrooms twice, these air fryer stuffed mushrooms were so simple and easy to prepare. Just between you and me, I don’t even really like mushrooms that much! But I ate a few of these and really enjoyed them. Which means all you mushroom fanatics out there are going to love them.
What you need for Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms

Tips for making Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms
Start by gently removing the stems from the mushroom caps. You can chop and reserve the stems for another use, like making a soup or mushroom stock.
How to Clean Mushrooms
Wiping any dirt off the mushroom caps with a damp paper towel is the best way to avoid a mushy mushroom. That being said, I tend to be lazy and just rinse mine under cold water and then let them drain a few minutes on a paper towel. These mushrooms are pre-cooked before stuffing, so that helps to remove the excess water as well.
Place the mushrooms in the air fryer basket, stemless down. Brush them with a mixture of the artichoke heart marinade and vegetable oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Air fry the mushrooms caps at 375 degrees F for 5 minutes.
Remove the mushrooms to a clean plate. Use your hands or a small spoon to stuff them with the prepared spinach and artichoke stuffing. Be sure to drain any liquid that collects in the mushrooms as you are stuffing them.
Return the stuffed mushrooms to the air fryer basket. Air fry them at 400 degrees F for 6 minutes, or until the stuffing is starting to brown. Serve immediately.
Kitchen Tips
- You can store cooked mushrooms in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, but I prefer to eat these right away.
- I use a Philips XXL Air Fryer to test all of my recipes.
- Pastry brush for brushing on the oil marinade.
