Ingredients
Scale
Produce
- 1 pound of fresh mushrooms (button or cremini)
Breading
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs (panko preferred)
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning mix
- 2 large eggs
Frying
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and slice into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Avoid soaking them to prevent sogginess.
- Set Up Your Breading Station: Prepare three bowls—one with flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley; one with whisked eggs; and one with breadcrumbs mixed with ranch seasoning.
- Bread the Mushrooms: Dip each mushroom slice in flour, then egg, then the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a full coating.
- Heat the Oil: Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Test readiness by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- Fry the Mushrooms: Fry mushrooms in a single layer for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or extra ranch dressing for a zesty bite.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, double-coat the mushrooms by repeating the breading process.
- Serve with ranch, aioli, or spicy ketchup for different flavor profiles.
- To keep them warm, place fried mushrooms in a low oven (200°F) while you finish frying the rest.
