Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

12 oz oyster mushrooms
7 oz oat milk (or milk of choice (3/4 cup))
1 lemon (3 Tbsp)
2 oz breadcrumbs (use GF if necessary, 1 cup)
1.5 Tbsp cornstarch (or potato starch)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp spice mix

Steps:

  • Combine the cornstarch with your spices of choice and the salt and mix. At the same time, prepare the vegan buttermilk by combining the milk and lemon juice (it's best to let this sit for 5-10 minutes).
  • Place the cornstarch bowl next to the buttermilk bowl, next to the breadcrumb bowl, next to your baking tray or air fryer basket to create a simple "dredging station."
  • Prepare and clean the oyster mushrooms (read FAQs for tips) and allow them to dry if needed.
  • Cover the mushrooms with the cornstarch mixture before dipping each mushroom into the vegan buttermilk and then the breadcrumbs, making sure to coat it well. Repeat until all the mushrooms are fully coated.
  • For this recipe, I've tested air-frying and roasting the oyster mushrooms, so you can do either.Drizzle or spray some oil (spray is best if you have one) over the mushrooms, then arrange them in a single layer within your Air Fryer basket or an oven tray (to roast). It's best to lightly grease the pan/air fryer tray to make sure none stick.
  • Air-fryer: cook the mushrooms, untouched, for 12 minutes at 400ºF/200ºC.Oven: roast the mushrooms for 20 minutes at 400ºF/200ºC.Once cooked, you should have golden brown and super crispy oyster mushrooms ready to enjoy!
  • Fridge: store any leftover crispy oyster mushrooms in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, lined with a paper towel. They will soften over time - however, you can re-crisp them up somewhat when reheating.You may also be able to freeze the leftover fried oyster mushrooms for later and reheat with an air fryer/oven - though I haven't tried, so I can't guarantee results.Reheat: while technically you can microwave these, the results will be soft. For that reason, I recommend broiling them

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ounces oyster mushrooms, trimmed
1 cup buttermilk
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground mustard
non-stick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Meanwhile, add flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and ground mustard to a large resealable zip-top bag. Seal and shake until evenly combined.
  • One at a time, take a mushroom out of the buttermilk mixture and drop in the seasoned flour. Toss to coat and transfer to a plate. Once all mushrooms are coated, repeat the breading step until all mushrooms are breaded twice and set them on another plate.
  • Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Spread out breaded mushrooms in the basket of the air fryer in one layer, making sure not to overcrowd (you will need to do this in batches).

  • Clean the oyster mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel. Do not wash them under running water, as this can make them soggy.
  • To make the coating, use a mixture of flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
  • To get a crispy coating, make sure the mushrooms are completely coated in the mixture before air frying. You can also spray them with a little cooking oil to help them crisp up.
  • Air fry the mushrooms at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the crispy oyster mushrooms immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
