Follow these simple steps to create your fried sliced mushrooms with ranch:

1. Prep the Mushrooms: Thoroughly rinse and slice the mushrooms. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2. Prepare the Breading Station: Set up three bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In the second bowl, beat the two eggs. In the third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

3. Coat the Mushrooms: Dip each mushroom slice into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Shake off any excess flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs.

4. Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Ensure there is enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan for frying.

5. Fry the Mushrooms: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the coated mushroom slices in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the mushrooms to steam rather than fry.

6. Ensure Golden Brown: Fry until the mushrooms are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use tongs to turn them for even cooking.

7. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the mushrooms from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
