Ingredients

  • 1 pound oyster mushrooms
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  • Clean the oyster mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel. Remove any dirt or debris.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • In another shallow bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar to create a vegan buttermilk substitute.
  • Dip each oyster mushroom into the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
  • Next, dip the coated mushroom into the vegan buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
  • Return the mushroom to the flour mixture and coat it again, pressing the flour mixture onto the mushroom to create a thick coating.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Carefully place the coated mushrooms into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Fry the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried mushrooms to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Serve the vegan fried oyster mushrooms hot with vegan tartar sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
