Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Portobello Mushroom Fries
  1. Begin by washing the portobello mushrooms under cool water to remove any debris. Pat them dry and slice into strips about 1/2-inch wide.
  2. Create a breading station with three shallow bowls; one with seasoned flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat a mushroom strip in the seasoned flour, dip in the egg, then roll in panko crumbs. Repeat for all strips.
  4. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and prepare to fry the mushroom strips in heated oil at 370°F (190°C).
  5. Fry the coated mushroom strips for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown.
  6. Remove fried strips and drain on paper towels, then sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
