Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (455 g) 24 cremini mushrooms, about
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (55 g / 1.94 oz) blanched almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) paprika
  • ½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) avocado oil
  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) honey mustard dressing, for serving (optional)
  • Toothpicks, for serving (optional)
  • For the crispiest results, serve these mushrooms immediately after baking. Due to their natural moisture, the coating will soften as they sit.
  • Use the wet hand, dry hand method for coating: use one hand for dipping the mushrooms in the egg and the other hand for tossing them in the almond flour. This prevents the flour from clumping on your fingers.
  • Choose mushrooms that are similar in size to ensure they all cook evenly and are done at the same time.
  • Leftovers, while no longer crispy, are delicious chopped up and tossed into salads, omelets, or pasta dishes the next day.

Method
 

  1. Prepare your station: Preheat the oven to 350°F / 177°C.
  2. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  3. Prep the mushrooms: Gently break or trim the stems from the mushrooms so they are level with the caps for a stable base.
  4. Set up the coating bowls: In a small, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
  5. In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, and sea salt.
  6. Coat the mushrooms: Working one at a time, dip a mushroom into the whisked egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Immediately transfer it to the flour mixture and use a fork or your dry hand to toss and press gently until it's fully coated.
  7. Place the coated mushroom on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Repeat and bake: Continue with the remaining mushrooms, arranging them in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly.
  9. Drizzle the mushrooms with the avocado oil.
  10. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the coating is a deep golden brown and feels crisp to the touch.
  11. Serve immediately: Remove from the oven and serve hot with honey mustard dressing for dipping, if desired. Providing toothpicks makes for easy, party-friendly serving.
