Learn how to make crispy fried mushrooms with garlic and paprika seasoning, served hot with ranch for dipping—easy appetizer in 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Breading Station

    Set up three shallow bowls or plates:

    • One with flour.
    • One with beaten eggs.
    • One with seasoned breadcrumbs: mix together breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

    Step 2: Bread the Mushroom Slices

    • Work in batches. Dip each sliced mushroom into the flour, coating both sides, then into the egg, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture to cover fully. Shake off any excess.

    Step 3: Fry to Perfection

    • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat—oil should reach about 350°F if you have a thermometer, or should shimmer when ready. Carefully place mushroom slices in a single layer without crowding. Fry each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

    Step 4: Serve Immediately

    • Plate the mushrooms hot with ranch dressing on the side. Dipping hot, crispy mushrooms into cool ranch makes every bite irresistible.
