03 - 2 large eggs, beaten
04 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
02 - Combine dried dill, parsley, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
03 - Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in a second, and mix panko, Parmesan, and half the ranch seasoning in a third.
04 - Toss mushrooms in flour, shake off excess, dip into eggs, then coat thoroughly with the panko mixture.
05 - Arrange mushrooms in a single layer on the prepared sheet and spray generously with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
06 - Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crisp.
07 - Sprinkle remaining ranch seasoning over hot mushrooms before serving.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • They're crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a savory ranch punch that makes you reach for more.
  • Takes less time than ordering delivery and tastes like you've been cooking all day.
  • Vegetarian, naturally gluten-free if you swap the flour, and way less guilt than fried versions.
02 -
  • Mushrooms release water as they bake—if you don't flip them halfway through, the bottom side gets soggy no matter how much oil you use.
  • Don't overcrowd your baking sheet; they need air circulation to get crispy, not steamed and soft.
03 -
  • Use a mix of mushroom types if you can—portobello, cremini, and button together give you different textures and depths of flavor.
  • If your panko coating keeps sliding off, make sure your eggs are just beaten enough to coat, not whipped into foam, which creates too slippery a surface.
