How To Make Fried Mushrooms and Onions

Slice up a large onion (or 2 small) and 8 oz of mushrooms. Add oil, mushrooms, and onions to pan. Set to high heat. Toss ingredients to coat in oil.

Once ingredients start sizzling, toss mushrooms and onions, then turn heat down to medium high. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring every minute. Keep an eye on mushrooms and onions, to avoid burning them.

Now it’s time to season the mushrooms and onions. Toss with spatula to coat evenly in seasonings.

Turn off heat and remove cooked mushrooms and onions from frying pan.

Cooking Tips

• You can also buy mushrooms pre-sliced from the store
• Use olive oil, coconut oil, butter, or omit entirely. If using a nonstick pan, oil is just to add flavor
• If ingredients start to burn while cooking, lower the heat
• For best results, season after the mushrooms and onions are cooked

How Long To Pan Fry Mushrooms?

Add oil and mushrooms to a skillet on high heat. Wait for the sizzle of the cooking oil before you turn down the heat. This is important for browning the mushrooms properly. Then cook at medium high heat for at least 10 minutes or until mushrooms are soft and tender. They will have light brown edges from the sautéing process.
