This recipe features oyster mushrooms that are lightly battered and fried to perfection, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender, juicy interior. The taste is a wonderful combination of savory and earthy, making them a fantastic addition to any meal or as a snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound 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 plant-based milk
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the oyster mushrooms gently and remove any tough stems. Set aside.
  2. Make the Battering Station: In one bowl, mix the flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, pour the plant-based milk. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat the Mushrooms: Dip each oyster mushroom in the flour mixture, then the plant-based milk, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs. Make sure they are well coated for that crispy texture.
  4. Fry the Mushrooms: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded mushrooms in batches, frying until golden brown on each side (about 3-4 minutes per side). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the Vegan Fried Oyster Mushrooms hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as vegan ranch or a spicy aioli.
