Ingredients for Halloween Porcini Mushroom Chips
- 4–5 dried porcini mushrooms
- 3–4 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg white
- 1–4 tbsp water
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika, ketchup, and teriyaki sauce to serve
Step-by-Step Instructions with Pictures
Chop mushrooms randomly, grind into powder with a coffee grinder.
Place the mushroom powder in a bowl. Add flour, salt, and spices, and whisk until well combined.
Separate the egg white and pour it into the bowl with the oil.
Add water, one spoonful at a time, so that the dough is soft and not sticky.
Place dough balls on a silicone mold, or use parchment paper if you don’t have one.
Bake the chips in a preheated 374°F oven for about 5-7 minutes.
While the chips are warm, transfer them to a rolling pin to give them a crinkle and just cool them on a rack.
Add a few drops of ketchup and teriyaki sauce to a serving plate. Using a fork, draw spooky patterns. Arrange the chips over the pattern and sprinkle them with paprika through a sieve.
Serve and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Mushroom Chips
- Choose Quality Dried Mushrooms: Select firm, aromatic porcini for the best flavor.
- Don’t Overwork the Dough: Too much kneading can make the chips dense instead of crisp.
- Crisp While Warm: Shape the crinkles while the chips are still hot for the perfect texture.
- Customize the Flavor: Add cayenne for heat, or a sprinkle of Parmesan for extra umami.
Serving Ideas
- Halloween Snack: Perfect for a themed movie night or spooky snack board.
- Party Treat: Place alongside other homemade Halloween themed finger foods for a festive spread.
- Cozy Fall Bite: Enjoy with beer, cider, or a warm drink on a crisp fall evening.
Storage and Reheating
- Store: Keep the crispy mushroom chips in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in the oven for 2–3 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid the microwave, which can make them soggy.
