Vegan Mushroom Wings

Ingredients

For the Mushroom Wings:

8 oz oyster mushrooms (or king oyster mushrooms, torn into “wing” shapes)
1 cup unsweetened plant milk
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (creates a buttermilk effect!)
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch (for extra crispiness!)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp baking powder (helps make them extra crispy!)
Vegetable oil for frying

For the Sauce:

½ cup hot sauce or BBQ sauce (Buffalo, BBQ, or Teriyaki—your choice!)
2 tbsp vegan butter, melted

Instructions

Prepare the Mushroom “Wings”

• Clean and trim the oyster mushrooms, keeping them in larger, wing-sized pieces.

Make the Batter & Breading

• In a bowl, whisk together plant milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• In another bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and seasonings.

Coat the Mushrooms

• Dip each mushroom first in the wet batter, then coat in the dry breading.
• For extra crispy wings, repeat the process twice!

Fry Until Golden

• Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry mushrooms for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
• Drain on a paper towel.

Toss in Sauce & Serve

• Toss wings in your favorite sauce and enjoy!
