# What You'll Need:

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

06 - 1 tsp dried dill

10 - ½ tsp onion powder
11 - ½ tsp salt
12 - ¼ tsp ground black pepper

# How to Make It:

01 - Set oven temperature to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
02 - Combine dried dill, parsley, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
03 - Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and mix panko, Parmesan, and half of the ranch seasoning in a third bowl.
04 - Toss mushrooms in flour, shaking off excess, then dip each piece in egg, and coat thoroughly with the panko mixture.
05 - Spread mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared sheet. Apply cooking spray generously or drizzle with olive oil evenly.
06 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning mushrooms halfway through until they are golden brown and crisp.
07 - Sprinkle remaining ranch seasoning over the hot mushrooms before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They taste like fried indulgence but come straight from the oven, guilt-free.
  • The ranch seasoning hits that savory-herbaceous sweet spot that makes you reach for just one more.
  • They're genuinely easy to pull together and feel like a restaurant-quality appetizer.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the baking sheet—mushrooms need space to get crispy, not steam themselves into softness.
  • Flipping halfway is non-negotiable; it's the difference between crispy-all-over and crispy-bottom-soft-top.
  • The panko mixture can get humid if you mix it too far ahead; combine it fresh right before you start breading.
03 -
  • Pat your mushrooms dry with a paper towel before flouring—any moisture compromises the crispy coating.
  • If your coating isn't sticking well, let the breaded mushrooms sit in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking; the cold helps everything set.
