Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh button mushrooms cleaned and stems 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
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko for extra crunch
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
  3. Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  4. Dip each mushroom into the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
  5. Next, dip the floured mushroom into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
  6. Finally, roll the mushroom in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Repeat with all mushrooms.
  7. In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  8. Carefully add the coated mushrooms to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried mushrooms to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
