Ingredients:

  • 1 lb mushrooms
  • 1.5 cups of flour (substitute with gluten-free if necessary), separated
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs (use gluten-free, if needed)
  • Oil for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Begin by cleaning the mushrooms with a damp cloth or paper towel to remove any dirt.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, prepare the breading station:
    • Bowl 1: 1 cup of flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
    • Bowl 2: Coconut milk mixed with garlic powder and onion powder.
    • Bowl 3: A mixture of the remaining 1/2 cup of flour and panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat the Mushrooms: Dip each mushroom first into the seasoned flour, making sure it’s fully coated. Then, dip it into the coconut milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it with the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
  4. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat enough oil to fully submerge the mushrooms. The oil should reach a temperature of about 350°F (175°C) for frying.
  5. Fry the Mushrooms: Carefully drop a few coated mushrooms into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the mushrooms and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  6. Season and Serve: While the mushrooms are still hot, season them with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy the crispy, flavorful bites!

These Crispy Fried Mushrooms are a perfect blend of crunch and savory goodness, making them an irresistible treat for any occasion.
