Prep
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- While the oven is preheating, prep the mushrooms. Rinse them, pat dry, and slice each mushroom in half.
- In a separate bowl, make the batter. First, whisk together the flour, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika. Then, pour in the soy milk and mix together until a thick batter forms.
- Add the Italian panko breadcrumbs to a separate bowl.
- Take the sliced mushrooms and first roll them in the bowl of batter until evenly coated. Then, roll each batter-coated mushroom in the bowl of panko breadcrumbs until covered.
- Place the mushrooms onto the parchment-lined baking tray. Then, lightly spray the mushrooms with cooking spray. This helps them get crispy in the oven.
- Add the tray of mushrooms to the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the tray at the15 minute mark and use a spatula to flip the mushrooms over so they get crispy on both sides. Once the mushrooms are crispy and browned, remove and let cool on the tray.
- While the mushrooms are cooling, make the chive sour cream dipping sauce. Add Forager Project sour cream, chopped chives, onion powder, and salt to a bowl and whisk together.
- To serve, dunk the crispy mushrooms into the dipping sauce and enjoy!
