Description
Crispy Fried Oyster Mushrooms are a delicious and crunchy appetizer that is easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups oyster mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl. Dip each oyster mushroom into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Next, dredge the buttermilk-coated mushrooms in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Return them to the buttermilk and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F.
- Carefully add the breaded mushrooms to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture for a spicy kick or experiment with different seasonings like Italian herbs or nutritional yeast for added flavor.
