Texas Roadhouse Fried Mushrooms Recipe
🍄 Ingredients
For the mushrooms:
- 8 oz fresh whole button mushrooms (cleaned and dried)
- 1 cup buttermilk (for soaking)
- 1 tsp hot sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
For the breading:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
For Frying:
- Vegetable or soybean oil (enough to submerge mushrooms)
For dipping sauce (optional, copycat horseradish ranch):
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp prepared horseradish
- 1 tbsp buttermilk
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
🥄 Instructions
- Prep the mushrooms
- Gently wipe mushrooms with a damp paper towel.
- Trim stems if needed, but keep mushrooms whole for that Texas Roadhouse look.
- Buttermilk soak
- In a bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce (optional).
- Add mushrooms and let them soak for at least 30 minutes in the fridge—this tenderizes and helps breading stick.
- Mix the breading
- In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Bread the mushrooms
- Remove mushrooms from buttermilk, shaking off excess liquid.
- Roll them in the seasoned flour mixture until fully coated.
- For extra crunch, repeat: dip in buttermilk again, then coat in flour mixture a second time.
- Heat the oil
- Pour oil into a deep pot or fryer and heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Test with a small pinch of flour—it should sizzle immediately.
- Fry the mushrooms
- Carefully drop mushrooms in small batches into hot oil.
- Fry for 3–4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the dipping sauce (optional)
- Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Chill until serving.
- Serve hot
- Pile fried mushrooms onto a plate and serve immediately with dipping sauce.
