Ingredients

• 4 large caps Portobello mushrooms
• 0.5 cups Almonds
• 0.5 cups Walnuts
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (optional)
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Olive oil or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it using olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Clean the Portobello mushrooms by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel. Remove the stems and scrape out the gills using a spoon, then slice the caps into 1/2-inch-wide strips.

Step 3

In a food processor, pulse the almonds and walnuts until they resemble coarse crumbs. Be careful not to over-process. Transfer the nut mixture to a mixing bowl and combine with the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for the flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the nut-breadcrumb mixture.

Step 5

Coat each mushroom strip with flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, and then press it into the nut-breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the coated strips onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Lightly drizzle or spray the mushroom strips with olive oil to help them brown and crisp in the oven.

Step 7

Bake the strips in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or toss onto a salad for extra crunch.
