Portobello Mushroom Fries Recipes

PORTOBELLO FRIES

Steps:

• Because portobello mushrooms are delicate, be careful as you remove the stem.
• Using a small amount of water, wash the outside of the mushroom cap, gently washing away any dirt. Do not, for example, submerge the mushrooms to wash them.
• Instead, use the water to help remove the dirt and carefully use a paper towel or cloth towel to dry off the mushroom.
• Once cleaned, I cut the portobello mushrooms, lengthwise about 1/2 an inch wide, so they are all approximately the same size. As a result, the portobello fries will cook evenly.
• Now, assemble 2 wide bowls (to accommodate the size/length of the longest portobello fry; sizes may vary), and whisk plant-milk and dijon mustard in one bowl. In the other bowl combine the bread crumbs and nutritional yeast.
• Preheat the oven to 400.
• Dip each portobello stick into the plant milk mixture, and then dip it in the bread crumbs mixture; one at a time until all mushrooms are covered in bread crumbs.
• Lay each fry on a baking sheet, separated from each other, on a silicone mat or parchment paper.
• Cook at 400 for 20 minutes, flipping each fry over after cooking for 10 minutes.
• To avoid having to flip the portobello fries at the halfway point, I use my Copper Chef Crisper, and air-fryer in the oven.
• Preheat to 400.
• Dip each portobello stick into the plant milk mixture, and then dip it in the bread crumbs mixture; one at a time until all zucchini is covered in bread crumbs.
• Lay each fry in the base of the air-fry plan, separated from each other.
• Cook at 400 for 9 minutes
• Remove each batch and repeat this process until all the portobello fries are cooked.
• Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender
• Blend on high until smooth
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve

PORTABELLA MUSHROOM FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the gills and stems from the underside of the mushrooms and trim the edges off. Slice into 1/4-inch strips.
• Measure flour into a pie plate. In another pie plate or bowl, combine panko, Parmigiano, parsley, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper.
• Dredge the mushrooms in flour, followed by the egg wash and finally in the panko.
• Working in batches, place the breaded mushroom slices in the hot oil and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel lined sheet tray.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM "FRIES"

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium high to high heat.
• Scrape the gills off the underside of portobello mushroom caps with a spoon. Brush caps gently with a damp cloth to clean them. Drizzle caps with oil to keep them from sticking to the grill pan and season the caps with steak seasoning or salt and black pepper.
• Grill mushrooms 3 or 4 minutes on each side under a loose tin foil tent until just tender. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
• Slice grilled caps into 1/2-inch strips. Turn strips in egg, then coat in mixture of parsley, bread crumbs and cheese. Cook "fries" over medium high heat in enough extra-virgin olive oil to coat a nonstick skillet in a thin layer, about 1/4 cup. "Fries" will brown in 2 or 3 minutes on each side.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oil in a deep fryer (or a large, heavy-based pot) to 350 degrees F.
• Wipe the tops of the mushrooms with a damp cloth to clean, and then scrape the gills off from the underside with the back of a spoon. Trim the stem and slice into 1/4-inch strips.
• Place the flour into a rimmed dish, the beaten eggs in a second rimmed dish and sprinkle both with some salt and pepper. In a third dish add the panko, some Italian seasoning, the paprika, garlic powder, and some more salt and pepper. Mix well. Dredge the mushroom "fries" in the flour, followed by the egg mixture and finally in the seasoned panko.
• Working in batches of 5 to 6, fry the mushrooms in the hot oil until golden brown and crunchy, about 4 minutes. Drain on a wire rack over some paper towels and season once more with salt.
