Steps
Tap an underlined word for a quick explanation.
Wipe the caps with a damp paper towel, twist out the stems and scrape out the dark gills with a spoon.
Brush the caps with the oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt. Air fry gill side up at 400°F for 5 minutes, then tip out any liquid that has pooled inside.
Timer: 5 min
Dolly’s tip: Portobellos hold a lot of water. Pouring it off keeps the filling from going soggy.Meanwhile, mix the spinach, ricotta, garlic, ¼ cup parmesan, the Italian seasoning, pepper flakes and the rest of the salt.
Spoon a little marinara into each cap, pile the ricotta filling on top and finish with the mozzarella and remaining parmesan.
Air fry at 360°F until the filling is hot and the cheese is , 8 to 10 minutes. Work in two batches if all four don’t fit.
Golden brown. Golden brown is the color of good toast, somewhere between yellow and light brown. It means the outside is cooked and crisp but not burnt.
How you’ll know: It looks like toast and smells toasty; dark brown with a bitter smell means it went too far.
Timer: 9 min
Scatter basil on top and serve two caps each.
