Ingredients

• 16 oz cremini or button mushrooms
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons coconut milk
• 0.5 cup coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Trim the stems if necessary and slice them in half if they are large.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in the coconut milk until well combined. This will be your egg wash.

Step 4

Dip each mushroom first into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then roll in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres. Place them on a plate.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.

Step 6

Fry the mushrooms for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if needed to prevent burning.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the mushrooms from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve immediately for the best crispiness. These crispy fried mushrooms are perfect as a side dish or a savory snack.
