Follow these steps to create your delicious fried sliced mushrooms with ranch:

1. Prepare the Mushrooms: Clean the mushrooms gently using a damp cloth and slice them evenly.

2. Set Up Your Breading Station: In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Coat the Mushrooms: Dip each mushroom slice first into the flour, ensuring it’s fully coated, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly coated for maximum crispiness.

4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle and turn golden brown.

5. Fry the Mushrooms: Working in batches, carefully add the breaded mushrooms to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking.

6. Drain Excess Oil: Once the mushrooms are golden, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

7. Serve: Arrange the fried mushrooms on a serving platter and offer the ranch dressing on the side.

8. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley over the mushrooms for an added touch of color and freshness.

And there you have it! A crispy, savory treat that everyone will love.
