Notes

To keep the mushrooms crispy, ensure they are thoroughly dried before battering. Double-fry the mushrooms for extra crunch; allow them to cool slightly after the first fry before frying again for 30 seconds. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in an oven or air fryer to regain crispiness.
