CRISPY BAKED MUSHROOMS
This is such a good healthy vegetable recipe and even my kids who hate mushrooms love these!
INGREDIENTS
- WHITE BUTTON MUSHROOMS – You can use Cremini mushrooms, baby bellas, or shiitake mushrooms. You could use portobello mushrooms but I don’t like larger mushrooms as much because they don’t roast up as nicely.
- EGG WHITE – Of course you could use olive oil but egg white holds the breading better.
- PANKO BREADCRUMBS – You could use regular breadcrumbs as well but I love the extra crunch that Panko breadcrumbs have.
- PECORINO ROMANO CHEESE – I like to use Pecorino Romano cheese because it has a stronger flavor than grated Parmesan but you could use either.
HOW TO MAKE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Using a damp paper towel, gently wipe each mushroom, cleaning the dirt of them.
-
In a large Ziploc bag or bowl combine the breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Set aside.
-
Place egg white in a large bowl. Add mushrooms and toss to coat.
-
Remove mushrooms and place in breadcrumb mixture. Shake or toss well to coat evenly.
-
Place mushrooms in an even layer on the baking sheet. Roast mushrooms for 8-10 minutes on a sheet pan or until golden brown and tender.
-
Serve immediately with ranch or marinara for dipping.
They remind me of an appetizer we used to order at Outback but this is a much healthier version.
