Equipment
- Deep Fryer or Skillet
- Tongs
- Paper Towels
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced (white button, cremini, or portobello)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko for extra crunch
- 1 tsp salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika or cayenne pepper optional, for a mild kick
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the dredging station: In one bowl, place flour; in another, beat the eggs; in a third, add breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Coat each mushroom slice first in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Fry the mushrooms in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove mushrooms using tongs and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with dipping sauces like ranch, garlic aioli, or spicy sriracha mayo.
Notes
For a healthier option, air-fry the mushrooms at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
