Calories: 124kcal
Ingredients
- 7 oz oyster mushrooms cleaned
Wet ingredients
- ⅓ cup almond milk unflavored (or other unflavored milk)
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce optional
Dry ingredients
- ¾ cup all purpose flour or wholemeal flour/almond flour/gluten-free blend
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¾ teaspoon dried basil
- ¾ teaspoon paprika powder
- ½ teaspoon cracked pepper
Instructions
- Prepare mushrooms by wiping off dirt and debris with a damp kitchen towel and separating them into individual pieces.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together all wet ingredients. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine all ingredients needed for the coating.
- Dip a piece of oyster mushroom in the milk mixture, shaking off excess. Then, coat it in the flour mixture and shake off extra. Repeat for the remaining mushrooms.
- Lightly coat mushrooms with oil on both sides using a cooking spray, and place them in a single layer without overlapping (you might need to cook them in batches).
- Bake them at 180C/350F for 8-12 minutes, flipping and spraying on more oil halfway through.
- Serve them with dipping sauce of choice, and enjoy!
Notes
Helpful tips
- Generously coat in oil – Ensure the mushrooms are well-coated so they brown evenly.
- Adjust cooking time – Check around the 8-minute mark, cooking it for longer if needed.
- Best served immediately – Air-fried oyster mushrooms taste best when freshly cooked and might turn soft after some time.
- Reheating leftovers – The best way to reheat is to pop them in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
