Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Fried Mushrooms Recipe
  1. Begin by gently wiping the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Slice each mushroom evenly, about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and seasoned salt, stirring well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
  3. Whisk a couple of eggs in a separate bowl and dip each sliced mushroom into the egg mixture first, or toss directly in the flour mixture.
  4. Heat vegetable or canola oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F.
  5. Carefully add the coated mushrooms in small batches to the hot oil. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried mushrooms from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
