🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms

1. Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp paper towel.
2. Trim the ends of the stems if needed.
3. If mushrooms are large, cut them in half.
4. Leave smaller mushrooms whole.

💡 Avoid soaking mushrooms in water—they absorb moisture and won’t crisp as well.

🥣 Step 2: Prepare the Egg-Garlic Mixture

In a medium bowl combine:

• Eggs
• Minced garlic
• Chopped parsley
• Salt
• Black pepper

Whisk thoroughly until smooth.

Let sit for 5 minutes so the garlic infuses the mixture.

🧀 Step 3: Make the Crispy Coating

In a separate shallow bowl mix:

• Parmesan cheese
• Almond flour
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Smoked paprika
• Oregano

Stir until evenly combined.

✨ The Parmesan becomes wonderfully crispy during baking.

🍄 Step 4: Coat the Mushrooms

1. Toss mushrooms with olive oil.
2. Dip each mushroom into the egg mixture.
3. Allow excess coating to drip off.
4. Roll thoroughly in the Parmesan-almond coating.

Press lightly so the coating adheres well.

Place coated mushrooms on a plate.

🔥 Step 5: Prepare for Baking

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Arrange mushrooms in a single layer.
4. Leave space between each mushroom.

This helps them crisp instead of steam.

🍄 Step 6: Bake

Bake for:

⏲️ 18–22 minutes

Halfway through:

1. Turn mushrooms gently.
2. Continue baking until golden brown.

The coating should become:

✅ Crisp

🌟 Optional Extra-Crispy Finish

For maximum crunch:

1. Turn oven to broil during the last 1–2 minutes.
