Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (such as avocado oil or vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg wash: In a bowl, whisk the two large eggs thoroughly until smooth and set aside. This will help the coating stick to the mushrooms.
- Mix dry coating: In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
- Coat the mushrooms: One by one, dip each sliced mushroom into the egg wash until fully coated, then immediately dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
- Heat the oil: Pour oil into a skillet to cover the bottom about 1/4 inch deep and heat over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Fry the mushrooms: Carefully add the coated mushrooms to the hot oil in a single layer, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan for best results.
- Drain excess oil: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried mushrooms and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the crispy fried mushrooms warm alongside ranch dressing for dipping, making a perfect low-carb appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms and slice them evenly for uniform cooking.
- Almond flour provides a keto-friendly, gluten-free alternative to traditional flour.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet to maintain oil temperature and ensure crispiness.
- Adjust seasoning in the coating to taste, adding more paprika or garlic powder if preferred.
- Serve immediately for best texture; leftovers can be reheated in a skillet to regain crispiness.
