Fried Mushrooms with Smoky BBQ Sauce
Crispy fried mushrooms with smoky BBQ sauce, perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, packed with flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) fresh button mushrooms
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1/2 cup smoky BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Prepare the mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove stems and set aside.
- Coat the mushrooms: In a shallow bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
- Dredge the mushrooms: Dip each mushroom in the flour mixture, followed by the beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Fry the mushrooms: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the mushrooms in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine BBQ sauce and honey (if using). Stir until smooth.
- Serve: Drizzle the smoky BBQ sauce over the fried mushrooms or serve it on the side for dipping.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the flour mixture or BBQ sauce.
- For a healthier version, you can bake the mushrooms at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of frying.
