Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 puffball mushroom sliced into "steaks", peeled
  • 1 cup aquafaba
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup hot sauce

Instructions

  • Clean your mushrooms of any debris or insects. Slice them into "steaks" and peel off the outer layer.
  • Prepare your cooking station. You should have two shallow bowls - one filled with aquafaba (chickpea water), the other one containing breadcrumbs. 
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and preheat the oven to 400F.
  • Dip each piece of puffball into aquafaba, then coat it with breadcrumbs and lay it on the baking sheet. Make sure there's a little bit of space between the pieces so that they are nice and crispy. Bake for about 30 minutes. 
  • Remove the puffballs from the oven and brush some hot sauce onto your "fried chicken". So easy!
