Why It Works

• The air fryer cooks the portobello mushrooms evenly and quickly, resulting in a juicy, tender burger.
• The avocado oil spray helps to brown the mushrooms and gives them a crispy exterior.
• The sautéed onions add a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor to the burgers.
• The dairy-free cheese is a great way to add creaminess and richness to the burgers without adding any dairy.
