Description
A delicious recipe for fried sliced mushrooms served with a homemade ranch dressing, perfect for a crunchy snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornmeal (optional, for extra crunch)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (to adjust consistency)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- In one bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal (if using), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Dip each mushroom slice into the egg mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place the coated mushrooms on a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to help the coating adhere.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the mushrooms in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Arrange the fried mushrooms on a platter and serve with the chilled ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
- Let the coated mushrooms rest to help the coating adhere better.
- Adjust the thickness of the ranch dressing with milk as desired.
