# Ingredients:
→ Mushrooms Prep
01 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
02 -
Salt and pepper as you like
03 -
1 cup breadcrumbs
04 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
Vegetable oil, enough for frying
06 -
1 pound fresh mushrooms, cut into slices
07 -
½ teaspoon paprika
08 -
2 eggs, whisked
09 -
1 cup plain flour
→ Ranch Dip Ingredients
10 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
11 -
1 tablespoon parsley, minced fresh
12 -
Salt and pepper to your liking
13 -
1 cup real mayo
14 -
1 teaspoon dried dill
15 -
½ cup sour cream
→ Garnish (Optional)
16 -
Grated Parmesan (mix with breadcrumbs if desired)
17 -
Fresh parsley, chopped up finely
# Steps:
01 -
Use three bowls: In one, stir together the flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another, beat the eggs. In the last, add breadcrumbs—mixing in Parmesan or extra seasoning, if you want.
02 -
Take a few mushroom pieces at a time. Dust them in your flour mix, shake off extra, dip in egg (let the excess drip back), and roll evenly in breadcrumbs.
03 -
Pour about ½ inch of vegetable oil into your frying pan and heat over medium-high. When breadcrumbs dropped in instantly sizzle, you're good to go.
04 -
Don’t overcrowd your pan—place mushrooms carefully into hot oil and cook each side for 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Do this in batches if needed.
05 -
Scoop out fried mushrooms using a slotted spoon and set them onto a plate lined with paper towels. Add a sprinkle of salt while they’re still warm, if you’d like.
06 -
While frying, toss mayo, sour cream, parsley, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Stir well until smooth.
07 -
Serve your hot and crunchy mushrooms on a nice platter. Put the ranch dip on the side and top with fresh parsley, if you want a garnish.
# Notes:
01 -
Pick mushrooms that are roughly the same size so they all cook evenly.
02 -
Make the ranch ahead and keep it in the fridge for up to three days.
03 -
Mix some Parmesan into your breadcrumbs to crank up the flavor.
