Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) large portobello mushrooms, cleaned and sliced into fry shapes

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Breading Stations: Set up three shallow dishes. In the first, place the all-purpose flour. In the second, pour in the beaten eggs. In the third, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

      Coat the Mushroom Fries: Take each mushroom slice and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, roll the mushrooms in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to ensure they are well-coated.

        Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated mushroom fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overcrowded to ensure maximum crispiness.

          Spray or Drizzle: Lightly spray the mushroom fries with cooking spray or drizzle them with a little olive oil to help them achieve a golden brown color while baking.

            Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the mushroom fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

                Enjoy: Serve these delicious crispy mushroom fries with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or garlic aioli.
