Ingredients

  • 1 lb button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Cool Ranch Dip:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat the mushrooms dry. Slice larger mushrooms in half or quarters.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place breadcrumbs or panko.
  4. Dredge each mushroom in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten egg, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry mushrooms in small batches for 2–3 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  6. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  7. For the dip: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  8. Serve mushrooms hot with the Cool Ranch Dip on the side.

Notes

  • Pat mushrooms dry well to help the coating stick.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan during frying to keep them crispy.
  • Use panko for extra crunch.
  • The Cool Ranch Dip can be made up to 24 hours ahead and chilled.
