Best Fried Mushrooms
- Homemade fried mushrooms are a savory treat that pairs with anything. Keep this recipe on hand for instant low-carb mushrooms that are ready in minutes with minimal clean-up!
- Mushrooms have an earthy, mildly buttery flavor and because of their spongy texture, they are quick to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients in recipes!
- Mild-flavored mushrooms are an affordable and healthy way to add bulk to nearly any recipe!
- Choose any variety of mushrooms for an elegant appetizer platter or to top burgers, pizzas, or to use as a vegetarian meat substitute in casseroles!
Ingredients & Variations
MUSHROOMS: All mushrooms have the same texture, but they don’t all taste the same. Brush any debris away with a vegetable brush, especially underneath the caps where the gills are located. If they must be rinsed, dry them out quickly using a salad spinner. Wait until they are completely dry so they soak up the seasonings better.
Any variety can be used by following this easy prep guide:
Button mushrooms, cremini (AKA baby bellas), shiitake: Brush away dirt from mushrooms and leave stems intact or remove if desired. PRO TIP: Freeze mushroom stems to add to future recipes.
Oyster mushrooms: Oyster mushrooms are often sold in bunches with the caps attached to larger stems in a shelf-like pattern. Cut the caps away from the stems and brush away debris before cooking.
Morel mushrooms: Remove the tough bottom of the stem and then slice each one in half vertically. Place the halves in a bowl of clean, salted water to drive out insect larvae. Rinse and place on clean paper towels to dry or run them through a salad spinner.
Portobello mushrooms: These are the large, meaty mushrooms that are often used as a substitute for meat or hamburger patties. Clean as directed above and then slice into ¼” pieces before using.
