Ingredients
- 500 grams cremini mushrooms
- 120 grams chickpea flour
- 180 milliliters water
- 120 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 130 grams whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0 olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Clean the cremini mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp cloth and remove the stems if desired.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, water, almond milk, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until smooth to create a batter.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, mix the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs with nutritional yeast.
Step 5
Dip each mushroom into the chickpea flour batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated. Place the coated mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Lightly spray the coated mushrooms with olive oil spray to achieve a crispy texture while baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through baking time for even crispiness.
Step 8
Once baked, remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried mushrooms immediately, ensuring to enjoy them while they are crispy.
