    Ingredient Notes

    • Cremini mushrooms – are also known as portobellini mushrooms or baby bellas. White button mushrooms also work great. You could actually use any fresh sliced mushrooms in this recipe including sliced portobellos.
    • Soy sauce – is wonderful for flavor but if you’re gluten-free you could switch this for tamari.
    • Olive oil and vegan butter – we use both in this recipe for the flavor they bring.
    • Garlic – feel free to use more garlic if you like!

    Ways To Serve Vegan Fried Mushrooms

    • As a side. These mushrooms make a perfect side dish to serve alongside any main course or as a breakfast side dish.
    • On toast. These vegan garlic mushrooms on toast is a definite favorite.
    • On avocado toast. This is even better, make some avocado toast and put these fried mushrooms on top!
    • With pasta. Serve these alongside our vegan alfredo or our vegan butternut squash mac and cheese.
    • IN pasta. Cook 8 ounces of pasta, drain and rinse, add these mushrooms, toss everything together and serve with an extra drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of vegan parmesan cheese.
    • On a burger. These mushrooms would be great on top of our classic vegan burger.
    • On pizza. These mushrooms make the perfect pizza topping. They are loaded with so much flavor your pizza won’t need much else.

    Chef’s Tips For The Best Vegan Fried Mushrooms

    The key to the perfect rich flavor and caramelised texture for these vegan fried mushrooms is to add lots of flavor (garlic, rosemary), salt and soy sauce.

    How To Caramelize Mushrooms:

    1. Use a large frying pan or skillet. There should be plenty of space for the mushrooms to spread out in the pan in a single layer.
    2. Don’t stir. Let the mushrooms cook for 4-5 minutes without stirring them so that they can become a deep golden brown.
    3. Add flavorings to a hot pan. Add soy sauce, salt and black pepper to the mushrooms right at the end when the pan is super hot.

    Sautéed Mushrooms FAQ

    How to store these mushrooms?

    Keep them stored in a covered container in the fridge for 3-4 days. They can be reheated in the microwave.

    Can you freeze sautéed mushrooms?

    Yes, they freeze well though the texture may change slightly once thawed. Freeze them in a flat layer on a baking sheet and once frozen, transfer to a freezer safe bag or container.
