Ranch-Seasoned Crispy Mushrooms (Printable)

Savory golden mushrooms coated in ranch spices and baked until crispy for a deliciously crunchy snack.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Mushrooms

01 - 1 lb button or cremini mushrooms, cleaned and quartered

→ Coating

02 - ½ cup all-purpose flour
03 - 2 large eggs, beaten
04 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
05 - ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ Ranch Seasoning

06 - 1 tsp dried dill
07 - 1 tsp dried parsley
08 - 1 tsp dried chives
09 - ½ tsp garlic powder
10 - ½ tsp onion powder
11 - ½ tsp salt
12 - ¼ tsp ground black pepper

→ Oil

13 - Cooking spray or 2 tbsp olive oil

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - In a small bowl, mix dried dill, parsley, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly incorporated.
03 - Arrange three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko, Parmesan cheese, and half of the ranch seasoning blend.
04 - Toss mushrooms in flour, tapping off any excess. Dip each piece into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the panko mixture.
05 - Place the coated mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Generously spray with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
06 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning mushrooms halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crisp.
07 - Sprinkle the remaining ranch seasoning over the hot mushrooms just before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They vanish faster than any chip or cracker, but you feel good about eating them.
  • The ranch seasoning clings to every crevice, giving you that addictive herby garlic hit in each bite.
  • No deep fryer, no mess, just a hot oven and a quick assembly line.
  • They work as a snack, a side, or even a sneaky salad topper when you want crunch.
02 -
  • Don't skip the oil spray or drizzle, without it the coating stays pale and chewy instead of crisp.
  • Flip them at the halfway mark or the bottoms will burn while the tops stay soft.
  • Let the mushrooms sit in a single layer with space between them, crowding traps steam and ruins the crunch.
03 -
  • Press the panko coating firmly onto each mushroom so it doesn't fall off during baking.
  • Use a wire rack on top of the baking sheet if you have one, it lets air circulate and makes them even crispier.
  • Taste your ranch seasoning before you start, if it feels weak add more garlic powder or salt to make it punchy.
