Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb button or cremini mushrooms
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornmeal
- 2 large eggs
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Supporting Ingredients:
- ¼ cup milk
- Vegetable oil
Ranch Dressing Ingredients:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Whisk ½ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup sour cream, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp dried dill, 1 tsp parsley, ¼ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper in a small bowl. Thin with 1-2 tbsp milk until smooth. Refrigerate.
- Combine 1 cup flour, ½ cup cornmeal, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper in a shallow dish. In another bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with ¼ cup milk.
- Dunk each mushroom slice into egg mixture, then thoroughly coat in flour blend. Rest coated mushrooms on a plate for 5 minutes to help breading adhere.
- Pour 2 inches vegetable oil into a deep skillet. Heat to 350°F. Carefully slide mushroom slices into hot oil, working in small batches to prevent overcrowding.
- Fry mushrooms for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until they reach a deep golden color. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Transfer crispy mushrooms to a serving platter. Serve immediately alongside chilled ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Test oil temperature with a small piece of breading to ensure it sizzles immediately without burning.
- Pat mushrooms completely dry before coating to help breading stick and create extra crispiness.
- For gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with rice flour or cornstarch and use gluten-free cornmeal.
- Slice mushrooms uniformly to guarantee even cooking and consistent crunch in each bite.
