- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce

PREPARATIONS
- Initiate the cooking process by selecting the “Air Fry” function on your air fryer and adjusting the temperature to 390 degrees F. Press the “Start” key to initiate the preheating process.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper in the air fryer oven pan, ensuring a non-stick surface for the patties.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped Cremini mushrooms, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped bell pepper, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, beaten eggs, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning mix, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well-incorporated.
- Form the mixture into equal-sized balls, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking. Place the patties in a single layer on the prepared air fryer oven perforated pan.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, carefully place the pan with the patties inside. Air fry the patties for approximately 10 minutes, turning them over halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
