Ingredients
Scale
Mushrooms
- 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
Breading Mixture
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Coating
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Other
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Ranch dressing for serving
Instructions
- Clean and slice mushrooms: Rinse the fresh mushrooms under cold water to remove any dirt, then slice them evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Prepare breading mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, whisking them together until well mixed.
- Coat mushrooms: Dip each mushroom slice first into the flour mixture, making sure it is well covered, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil: Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet to a depth of about 1/2 inch and heat over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Fry mushrooms: Fry the coated mushroom slices in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Drain excess oil: Remove the mushrooms using a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on paper towels to drain off excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the fried mushroom slices hot alongside a bowl of ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and flavor.
- Maintain the oil temperature to ensure crispy, non-greasy mushrooms.
- You can substitute panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
- Keep fried mushrooms warm in a low oven if preparing in batches.
- This recipe pairs well with other dipping sauces like spicy mayo or blue cheese dressing.
