Equipment

  • air fryer or oven
  • Three Shallow Bowls
  • knife and cutting board
  • Tongs or a Fork

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz mixed mushrooms, torn or sliced into bite sized pieces maitake/Hen-of-the-Woods and cremini; oyster mushrooms also work

Flour Mixture

  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper

Batter

  • 1 cup unsweetened soy milk

Panko Breading

  • 1½ cups Panko Breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

Prep the Breading Station

  • Set Up Three Bowls For Dredging:
    Bowl 1 (Dry Mix): Combine flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
    Bowl 2 (Slurry): Whisk together soy milk and 2 tablespoons of the seasoned flour to create a light batter.
    Bowl 3 (Crunchy Coating): Place panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish. 

Double Dredge the Mushrooms

  • -Lightly toss mushrooms in the seasoned flour, coating all sides.
    -Dip each piece into the soy milk slurry, ensuring full coverage.
    -Press into panko breadcrumbs, coating generously.
    -Repeat the slurry + panko step to build an extra-crispy exterior.

Air-Fry Until Golden & Crispy

  • -Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
    -Arrange mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if needed.
    -Lightly spray with cooking oil for even crisping.
    -Air-fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Mushrooms are done when golden brown and crispy, with a tender inside.
