Baked Breaded Mushrooms with Garlic Aioli

Did you try my recipe for Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms?
That mushroom appetizer recipe is a simple one that has only five ingredients in it.

This recipe is especially for anyone asking what is the healthiest way to cook mushrooms.
I am going to compare this recipe with the usual fried mushroom recipe.
What makes this recipe 'less unhealthy' than the usual fried mushroom recipe can be considered by many to be in the fact that this recipe is baked rather than deep fried.
Certainly, this recipe can also be judged on the ingredients that are added to it.
My biggest problem with anything that is fried is really the oil and the frying in it that happens.
However, I can also have issues with the seasonings (salt especially) that may be added as well.
People ask me how do vegans stick breadcrumbs (or panko).
Really, if you are not wanting a vegan recipe and you do not mind eggs, feel free to use the usual egg.
This may be an easier option for you than the vegan egg option.
Here is how to make a 'vegan egg' that can be used to help stick breadcrumbs/panko to the mushrooms.
Vegans use this trick all of the time. Simply combine together chickpea flour with water and you get a great egg alternative that can be used in this recipe!

- Seasonings can really make this recipe taste even better! Great ideas for seasonings include Italian Seasonings, Salt Alternative Seasonings, and/or Pepper. Also, I like the idea of a Mediterranean Diet Seasoning Blend or even a Seasonings as desiredor a Greek Seasoning Blend
- Make this recipe even better by adding an extra flavor. Adding a few drops of pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or even honey mustard can make these mushrooms more flavorful.
- I hate the idea of soggy mushroom ruining a great recipe such as this one. One way to prevent your mushrooms from getting soggy is to make sure that they are dry before using them in this recipe. Another way to prevent soggy mushrooms is to make sure that your flip them over while baking to ensure that they get evenly baked.
How to prepare mushrooms for this recipe.
Mushrooms are pretty porous which means that they are prone to absorbing water.
As a result, I suggest not soaking mushrooms in water.
For this mushroom recipe, you can give your mushrooms a quick rinse in water.
I like to clean my mushrooms by wiping them down with a clean paper or kitchen towel to remove any dirt etc.
You can give your mushrooms a quick rinse in water before wiping them down if needed.

Ingredients needed for vegan Baked Breaded Mushrooms .
- Mushrooms- one 8 to 10 ounce package. I use white, whole mushrooms, and that are fresh. Leaving the stems attached is up to you. Leaving the stems on can make these easier to dip and then eat. Your mushrooms should also be cleaned. Slicing your mushrooms is also optional.
- Breadcrumbs- 1 cup. You can use breadcrumbs, panko, low carb panko, or a gluten free option.
- Chickpea Flour- ⅓ cup. Omit this and water to use 1-½ eggs instead.

How to make this recipe for Vegan Baked Breaded Mushrooms
- Preheat your oven to 425 and prep a rimmed baking sheet for nonstick. I like parchment paper.
- Prepare your mushrooms by rinsing if desired. I wipe my mushrooms down using a clean paper or kitchen towel to remove the dirt. Removing the stems and slicing mushrooms is optional although, using whole mushrooms will make it easier to eat them.
- Place your breadcrumbs or panko in a shallow bowl.
- Next, in a medium mixing bowl, use a whisk or a fork to blend together the chickpea flour and water, adjusting ingredients as needed. If you are using eggs simply omit the water and flour and whip the eggs. However, if you are using another kind of egg substitute follow the directions on that package and omit the flour and water indicated in this recipe. Add seasonings as desired.
- Use a fork to dip each individual mushroom first in the egg/egg substitute and then into the shallow bowl with the panko/bread crumbs, covering as well as possible. Then place the mushroom on the prepared baking sheet.
