Portobello Mushroom Fries (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ For the Shrooms

01 - 3 jumbo portobello caps

→ The Crispy Outside

02 - ½ cup plain flour (62.5g)
03 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
04 - 1 cup unsweetened panko crumbs (216g)
05 - ½ cup finely grated Parmesan (50g)

→ Flavor Boost

06 - 1 tsp garlic powder
07 - 1 tsp onion powder
08 - 1 tsp smoked paprika
09 - 1 tsp coarse salt
10 - ½ tsp ground black pepper

→ To Serve

11 - Dip it in ranch dressing

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your air fryer on and heat it up to 375°F (190°C). Let it run for around 3-5 minutes.
02 - Wipe portobello caps with a wet paper towel. Remove the stems, and use a spoon to gently scrape out the dark underlayer. Slice them into half-inch strips.
03 - Line up three shallow bowls. Put the flour in the first, beat eggs in the second, and mix the panko, Parmesan, and seasonings in the last one.
04 - Coat mushroom pieces in flour first, dip them next in the egg, and then press them into the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure everything sticks nicely.
05 - Arrange them one by one in your air fryer basket. Keep space between each piece, spray lightly with oil, and cook at 375°F for 7-9 minutes. Shake the basket halfway so everything cooks evenly. They’re done when they’re golden and crunchy.

# Notes:

01 - It’s fine to fry in batches if everything doesn’t fit at once.
02 - For the crunchiest result, don’t forget that oil spray before air frying.
03 - These taste the best if you eat them immediately while they’re warm and crispy.
