Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 500g large oyster mushrooms
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (almond or soy)
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup (or agave nectar)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Pinch of turmeric
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp BBQ sauce (vegan)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper

Method
 

  1. Prepare the 'Buttermilk' Soak: In a large bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to curdle.
  2. Set Up the Breading Station: Combine flour and seasonings in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, place panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat the Mushrooms: Dip mushroom pieces in the buttermilk, then the flour mixture, and finally the panko. Ensure they are well coated.
  4. Prepare the Sauces: Whisk together all ingredients for the Honey Mustard and Spicy sauces in separate bowls.
  5. Cook the 'Chick'n' Nuggets: Choose a method: Fry in heated oil for 3-4 minutes per side, air fry at 375°F for 10-15 minutes, or bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.
  6. Serve: Serve the nuggets immediately with prepared sauces.

Notes

For extra crispiness, let breaded mushrooms rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking. Use leftover herbs in sauces for added flavor.
