Ingredients:
1 pound of fresh mushrooms (such as button or cremini), cleaned and sliced
1 cup of all-purpose flour (or use gluten-free flour if desired)
1 cup of plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
1 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pour the plant-based milk into a separate bowl.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat. You’ll need enough oil to fully submerge the mushrooms.
Dip each mushroom slice into the plant-based milk, then coat it with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Carefully place the coated mushrooms into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them in batches if needed.
Cook the mushrooms for about 3-4 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Once cooked, remove the mushrooms from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining mushroom slices.
Serve the vegan fried mushrooms immediately while they’re still hot and crispy. They can be enjoyed on their own as a snack or used as a topping for burgers, sandwiches, or salads.
