“Lazy” recipes are perfect for those days when you’re just not in the mood to cook. Take these healthy roasted mushrooms for example. A crispy exterior with a savory, almost meaty texture inside. Each bite is loaded with umami. Plus, these crispy mushrooms are filled with nutrients, low-fat and healthy, so you don’t really have to worry about overindulging.
They make a great snack to satisfy cravings or a tasty topping for noodles and rice!
Ingredients (serves 2):
- 250g mixed mushrooms*
- 5-7g salt & pepper powder
- 10-15g vegetable oil
- 10-15g tapioca flour
*Choices of mushrooms: oyster & maitake mushrooms are highly recommended for their meaty texture and umami. Other options include king oyster mushrooms and enoki mushrooms.
Instructions
- Clean the mushrooms using a brush and a damp paper towel. Pat dry mushrooms with another dry paper towel.
-
Combine and mix the mushrooms with the seasonings, ensuring the mushrooms are evenly covered in the tapioca flour.
-
Spread the mushrooms on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 190 degrees C for 20 mins, flip halfway, until they are crispy on the outside. An air fryer also works!
I love these fake “junk food” that fools your brain to think that you are eating deep fried food while it’s actually quite healthy. Want to know how crunchy they are? Play the video below!
