Vegetable or sunflower oil (enough for shallow or deep frying)
For serving
Chopped parsley
Grated Parmesan (optional but highly recommended)
Dipping sauce of choice (garlic aioli, ranch, spicy mayo)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the mushrooms
Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel. Don’t soak them in water—they’ll absorb it. Trim the stems if needed and cut large mushrooms in half.
Lightly season with salt and pepper.
2. Set up your coating station
You’ll need three bowls:
Flour (seasoned lightly with salt)
Beaten eggs
Breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and spice
3. Coat like a pro
Working in batches:
Roll mushrooms in flour
Dip into egg
Coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs, pressing gently so it sticks
Place coated mushrooms on a plate and let them rest for 5–10 minutes. This helps the coating stay put when frying.
