• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika for a smoky note)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar/lemon juice)
• 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)
• Vegetable oil for frying (canola, peanut, or sunflower oil)

For the Cool Ranch Dip:

• ½ cup sour cream
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon dried chives (optional)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms

• Gently wipe mushrooms clean with a damp cloth or paper towel. Avoid soaking them in water to keep them from becoming soggy.
• Trim the stems if needed, and leave mushrooms whole or cut large ones in halves or quarters for bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Set Up the Breading Station

• Bowl 1: Mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
• Bowl 2: Whisk eggs and buttermilk together until combined.
• Bowl 3: Place panko breadcrumbs.

Step 3: Bread the Mushrooms

1. Coat each mushroom piece in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
2. Dip into the egg and buttermilk mixture, ensuring a thorough coating.
3. Roll the mushroom in panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs well.
4. Place breaded mushrooms on a tray or plate and let them rest for 5 minutes to help the coating stick better.
