If you’re looking for a low carb alternative to French fries, then you must try these Crispy Mushroom Fries with Lemon Tahini Dipping Sauce! They’re light, tasty, crispy, and irresistible after your first bite.
Welcome back to Episode 2 of my Mini Tahini Series!
What is tahini?
Tahini is a ground sesame butter or paste that’s traditionally used in Middle Eastern cuisine. It is served by itself or as a main ingredient in hummus, baba ghanoush, and halva!
What does tahini taste like?
Tahini has an earthy flavor that is slightly bitter but not overpowering. It’s perfect for baking cookies because it absorbs other flavors paired with it in the cookie batter, and provides a chewy crunchy cookie every time! The spread is similar to peanut butter and other nut butters, the only difference is that it doesn’t have that similarly sweet flavor profile. But is similar in that it’s rich and creamy!
How to make homemade crispy mushroom fries?
- Heat up your neutral frying oil in a pot over medium high heat to 350F. You will want at least 2 inches in depth.
- To batter up your mushrooms, set up a station with 3 large bowls. In one bowl, add the flour and salt. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and herbs together.
- Slice or pull apart your mushrooms to fry-sized pieces. Dredge in the flour mix, then eggs, then breadcrumbs.
- Working in small batches, place the battered fries in the oil to fry 1-2 minutes on each side. Until golden brown and crispy. Remove with slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oils. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Serve warm with the dipping sauce to enjoy!
To Make in the Conventional Oven:
- Bake at 425F on a parchment paper lined sheet pan for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- TIP: Spray or drizzle in olive oil for extra crispiness.
How to store and reheat leftover mushroom fries?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 425F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until warmed and crispy.
