Crispy Baked Portobello Mushroom Fries
I am a big fan of fries and an even bigger fan of mushrooms so when I came across the idea of combining the two to make mushrooms fries I was immediately sold and just had to make them! The mushrooms are turned into 'fries' by slicing portobellos, coating them with panko bread crumbs and baking them until golden brown and crispy. Yes, mushroom fries really are as easy to make as they sound and it is a good thing because they are so amazingly good and frighteningly addictive! I practically inhaled the first batch and given that they are baked rather than fried, I don't feel quite so bad.
Mushroom fries go well with marinara sauce and/or chipotle lime mayonnaise for dipping!
Thirty minutes standing between you and crispy delicious mushroom heaven in your mouth!

My mouth is watering. Those would be so easy to toss in the oven just before everything else is done.
I could eat an entire plate of these fries! Pinning!
Thank you for posting, Kevin ... looks delish ;p
YUM!!!!!!!!!
You are the master of mushrooms. Love this. Very creative.
This would be great for Meatless Monday with a salad and some good bread; portobellos are so satisfying. Right now, I'm wanting the marinara, but you could switch up the seasoning and dip these in so many things. Guess what I'm making this Monday, and next Monday, and the Monday after that...? Another home run.
What a great idea! Those mushrooms taste so great and your creation looks wonderful.
Cheers,
Rosa
There's no way you should feel guilty about inhaling these! It's what anyone with a pulse would do.
These look delicious! Thanks for sharing. Pinning this to meatless and appetizers.
I love portobellos, but always have them as "burgers". What a great idea you've come up with, Kevin. Can't wait to try them.
Keep writing...
These sound incredible!

They look fabulous. They would be so good dunked in your jalapeno popper dip!
I am sharing this recipe at my Weight Watchers's
meeting. Low fat and no carbs!
Wow… this looks really delicious. If you like fried mushroom, try deep dry some abalone mushroom. Just coat them with batter and deep fry. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper or dip with soy sauce, it is really nice. :)

Yum, Yum and Yum. That is all I have to say :)
We just made these for the third time, and they are the best. Positively delicious! We didn't follow the directions exactly--we used shiitake mushrooms, because our neighbor grows them--but they turned out perfect. Crispy and yummy. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Fantastic! I was looking for easy recipes for my hubby to make and this fits just perfect. I could eat these every night. THANKS!!
wow i like this artickle
any suggested alternatives for egg?
Anonymous: You should be able to use buttermilk or milk instead of the egg, just skip the initial dredging in flour step and go straight to the buttermilk.
Can I use any breadcrumbs or does it have to be Panko? Never heard of Panko before:)
Hi Kevin, if I don't have buttermilk, can I use plain yogurt instead?
Um Nemleh: I have not tried this with regular bread crumbs and if they do work the fries will not be nearly as crispy. A lot of grocery stores carry panko breadcrumbs now, they should be in with the other bread crumbs or in the Asian section. Yogurt should work instead of butter milk.
I'd like to make these as breaded mushroom caps for vegetarians to have while the omnivores are eating steak. What changes do you suggest I make if I don't want to slice them?
Katherine Struthers: As long as the button mushroom caps are not too large you should be able to use the recipe as written. If they are really large I would recommend halving or quartering them to ensure that they cook all the way through.
