Crispy Fried Mushrooms with Ranch Dip
Crispy Fried Mushrooms with creamy ranch dip: a golden, crunchy appetizer that's perfect for parties, snacking, or entertaining.
Ingredients
- 300 g fresh button mushrooms cleaned and trimmed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
For the Ranch Dip:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Mushrooms: Pat mushrooms dry with a paper towel. This ensures the coating sticks well.
- Set Up Breading Station: Arrange three bowls—one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Bread the Mushrooms: Coat each mushroom in flour, dip in eggs, and roll in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- Fry the Mushrooms: Fry mushrooms in batches, ensuring they don’t crowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown.
- Drain and Serve: Remove mushrooms with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Prepare the Ranch Dip: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
- Enjoy: Serve crispy mushrooms with ranch dip on the side and enjoy warm!
Notes
- Adjust seasoning to taste based on your preferences.
- These mushrooms are best served fresh for maximum crunch.
