Ingredients
- 500 g Cremini or button mushrooms
- 120 g All-purpose flour
- 60 g Cornstarch
- 5 g Baking powder
- 5 g Garlic powder
- 5 g Onion powder
- 5 g Paprika
- 5 g Salt
- 2 g Black pepper
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 10 ml Apple cider vinegar
- 150 g Panko breadcrumbs
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or rinsing them quickly under cold water and patting dry. Remove the stems if desired.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and set aside for 5 minutes to create a non-dairy 'buttermilk'.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the panko breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Working in batches, dip each mushroom into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then into the almond milk mixture, and finally coat them well in the panko breadcrumbs.
Step 7
Carefully place the breaded mushrooms into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Repeat the process with the remaining mushrooms.
Step 10
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or a dipping sauce of your choice. Enjoy your dairy-free crispy fried mushrooms!
