Ingredients
  

For the Breading
  • 8 ounces Mushrooms Use button, cremini, or portobello for best flavor and texture.
  • 1 cup Flour Use gluten-free flour for a suitable substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt Enhances flavors; customize with favorite spices.
  • 2 large Eggs Optional for a thicker coating.

  • 2 cups Oil Choose a high smoke point oil like vegetable or canola.

Equipment

  • Deep pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Clean and prepare the mushrooms by rinsing under cool water and patting them dry. Slice uniformly into half-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour and seasoned salt, mixing well. Customize with additional spices if desired.
  3. Coat the mushrooms in the seasoned flour; for thicker coating, dip in beaten eggs and return to flour.
  4. Heat oil in a deep pan to 375°F. Check temperature by adding a pinch of flour to see if it sizzles.
  5. Carefully add coated mushrooms in batches to the hot oil, frying for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove mushrooms using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while hot.
