Crispy Baked Parmesan Garlic Breaded Mushrooms – enjoy this restaurant favorite without all the fat and calories, try them baked! Loads of flavor, no guilt!
You know those crispy fried breaded mushrooms you love so much at restaurants? I think you know what I’m talking about. Well I love them, they used to be my favorite appetizer to order, because I’m just nuts about mushrooms and fried food. But after all the heavy food lately I just crave something a bit healthier. Well at least until I start my Christmas baking, and that’s soon, as in a couple days. And I’m excited about it. But let me not digress any further and talk about these babies.
Yes, they’re baked, but they also are very very crispy. The breadcrumb mixture is Parmesan and garlic flavored, my favorite way. Loads of Panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese and some garlic powder combined together. Then I first rolled the mushrooms through some egg whites so that the breadcrumb mixture would stick to the mushrooms, then simply roll the mushrooms through the breadcrumb mixture. Really simple. Bake them for about 10 to 15 minutes or until they’re golden and super crispy.
You can serve these with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch dressing or whatever you prefer. While I admit that I still prefer the fried ones to the baked ones, this is still a great alternative especially if you’re looking to cut the fat. So if you love mushrooms as much as I do, this is a great way to have them, full of flavor and really crispy and delicious. What are you waiting for? Let’s make some!

I made these tonight. Easy and yummy! An upgrade from the bar food version.
Glad you liked them!
I have sliced mushrooms in my fridge along with all of the other ingredients… how do you think they would turn out?? 😕
I don’t think they will be quite the same, I mean they will probably still be good but not the same as biting into a whole mushroom.
My kids 4 and 2 both loved making these. Such a tactile recipe.
Neither like eating mushrooms. But the adults did! These are a party food 1st division recipe. We indulges with a blue cheese dip
Oh my God, these mushrooms are so sweet. I will make them the next chance I get to buy such small thingies, they are not always available.
That’s true. Sometimes the cremini mushrooms are really big and won’t be too good for this recipe.
These would make my heart sing right now. They all look so perfect and perfectly delicious!
Oh my god! Breaded mushrooms are one of my favourite things but I’ve never thought to make them at home! Can’t wait to try this recipe out 🙂
