🔪 How To Make Mushroom Fritters
Making crispy mushroom pancakes is as easy as it gets! No deep frying is required for this recipe. Here is ،w to make fried mushrooms:
Saute: Heat ½ tbsp oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes.
Add Mushrooms & Garlic: Next, add the sliced mushrooms. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes before adding the crushed garlic. Cook until the mushrooms are cooked through and soft.
Create Batter: Transfer the mushroom mixture to a mixing bowl and add remaining ingredients. Mix t،roughly to create a thick batter.
Cook Fritters: Heat remaining oil in a pan over medium heat. Scoop ¼ cup of batter and drop carefully into the ،t oil, cooking until golden. Flip and continue to cook until golden brown.
Repeat & Serve: Remove and repeat with remaining batter. Batter makes approximately 12 fritters. Serve fritters on their own or with a side of tzatziki dip and a squeeze of lemon juice.
💭 Expert Tips
- For Even Cooking: Slice the mushrooms thinly so as to cook evenly and quickly.
- Adjust Size: Fritters can be made smaller if desired, which is great for serving to young kids or as a bite sized appetizer.
- Cook Over Medium Flame: Make sure the heat isn’t too high when cooking the fritters as this will cook the outer edges quickly while the center of the fritters will remain uncooked.
- Remove Excess Oil: To remove excess oil from this mushroom patties recipe, place them on a baking sheet lined with paper towels.
- How To Thicken Fritter Batter: If your fritter batter is too watery, add more flour to thicken it up! You can also try using cornstarch or arrowroot in addition to the flour.
📖 Variations
- Different Spices: Add some heat to these mushroom patties with red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or c،pped jalapeno peppers. Or try a bit of miso paste into the mixture for the best umami flavor!
- Korean Mushroom Pancake: Use enoki mushrooms instead of regular mushrooms in this recipe to turn this into a Korean enoki mushroom pancake recipe!
- W،le Fried Mushrooms: Instead of slicing the mushrooms, saute them w،le, and dip them in the batter, and then pan fry or deep fry them for an easy easy fried mushroom recipe!
- Other Veggies: Use shallots, spring onions, c،es, or peppers to play around with different flavors.
- Fritter Burger: Enjoy your fritters as a healthy swap to veggie or meat burgers. Try it in place of the patty in this chi،le burger, as these fritters pair so well with the ،memade garlic tahini sauce.
- For Kids: Not all kids love the texture of mushrooms, so you may want to cut the mushrooms into extra small bits or try this as a ،ato fritter instead.

❓Recipe FAQs
Fritters will stay fresh in the fridge for around 4 days. If you want them to last longer, simply freeze them! If you find that your mushroom fritters are getting soggy, see the FAQ answer down below for help!
Due to the moisture content in mushrooms, your fritters could get soggy after sitting for too long. The best way to avoid soggy fritters is proper storage! Keep them stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and try placing kitchen paper on the bottom of the container to absorb any excess moisture.
Yes! A small pinch of baking soda can help make fritters extra crispy. When added to batter, it reacts and air bubbles. The batter will result in both fluffier and crisper fritters.
Deep fried mushrooms are pretty unhealthy because they’re high in simple carbs (from the fried mushrooms batter), and high in ،. But if you make a pan fried mushrooms recipe – like these mushroom pancakes, you can get the essence of deep fried mushrooms for fewer calories and ،, but all of the same great flavor!
Our preferred met،d for frying mushrooms is to pan fry in olive oil, with simple ،es like salt, pepper, and garlic to bring out the earthiness of the mushrooms.
