Crispy Oven Garlic Mushrooms (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Coating

01 - 40 grams almond flour
02 - 40 grams raw sunflower seeds, ground to a fine powder
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
05 - 0.5 teaspoon paprika
06 - 0.25 teaspoon dried parsley
07 - 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (omit for dairy-free version)

→ Mushrooms & Wet Ingredients

08 - 200–225 grams fresh mushrooms, small to medium size
09 - 1 extra-large egg, beaten (or 2 standard eggs)
10 - 0.5 tablespoon melted butter (omit for dairy-free version)

→ Oven Preparation

11 - 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil

→ Equipment

12 - 1 medium to large resealable plastic storage bag

# Instructions:

01 - Set oven to 200°C. Brush a baking sheet with avocado oil or olive oil to coat the surface evenly.
02 - Rinse mushrooms under cold water and blot dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
03 - Using a food processor or spice grinder, pulse raw shelled sunflower seeds until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency.
04 - Transfer the ground sunflower seeds, almond flour, garlic powder, sea salt, paprika, dried parsley, and parmesan (if using) to a resealable plastic bag. Seal and shake well to mix.
05 - In a small bowl, beat the extra-large egg until uniform. Whisk in melted butter if using.
06 - Dip each mushroom into the egg mixture, allow excess to drip, then place into the bag with breading mixture. Seal and shake gently until mushroom is evenly coated. Arrange coated mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
07 - Repeat the egg-dip and breading procedure for each mushroom, ensuring all are coated and spaced apart on the baking sheet.
08 - Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes. Turn mushrooms over carefully with tongs at the halfway mark to promote even browning.
09 - Activate the broiler on low setting for 1 to 2 minutes to achieve a crisp exterior. Monitor closely to prevent burning. Remove immediately when golden brown.
10 - Allow mushrooms to cool for a brief moment before transferring to a plate. Serve while warm.

# Notes:

01 - For optimal crispiness, do not overcrowd the baking sheet; allow adequate space between mushrooms.
02 - Substitute vegan parmesan or omit cheese entirely for a dairy-free version.
