Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic and onion seasoning
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix
- 8 ounces portobello mushroom caps, cleaned
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), or prepare your air fryer following the temperature guidelines.
- Prepare the breading station: Arrange four shallow dishes for breading. Pour milk into the first dish. In the second, combine all-purpose flour and garlic and onion seasoning. Place ranch dressing in the third dish. In the fourth dish, mix the panko bread crumbs with the dry ranch dressing mix.
- Bread the mushrooms: Dip each portobello mushroom cap first into the milk, then into the flour mixture, ensuring you shake off any excess flour. Next, dip it into the ranch dressing, and finally coat it thoroughly with the panko and dry ranch mix blend.
- Prepare for cooking: Place the breaded mushrooms into a shallow air fryer pan or basket. Generously spray them with nonstick cooking spray to ensure a crispy texture.
- Cook the mushrooms: Air-fry the mushrooms at 400°F (200°C) for about 7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh portobello mushroom caps and clean them gently with a damp cloth.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake these mushrooms in the oven on a greased baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Feel free to substitute low-fat milk or dairy-free milk alternatives if desired.
- Serve these crispy mushrooms with extra ranch dressing for dipping.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs.
