These Crispy Fried Mushrooms are the ultimate snack for anyone who loves a serious crunch. Using Panko breadcrumbs is a chef-level trick—the larger flakes create more surface area for the oil to crisp, giving you that light, airy “shatter” with every bite. Letting the coated mushrooms rest for a few minutes before frying is the secret to keeping the crust perfectly intact.
