ramyaramesh3007These vegan garlic parmesan oyster mushroom ‘wings’ are crispy, addictive, and smothered in a rich buttery garlic sauce topped with parmesan.
These Vegan Garlic Parmesan Oyster Mushroom Wings are the definition of the perfect snack – they are smothered in a rich garlic buttery sauce, topped with vegan nut parmesan and paired with a simple dairy-free ranch dressing. The perfect mushroom ‘wings’ to exist!
I think you’ll be in disbelief when you taste these – the oyster mushrooms give a nice chicken-y texture and the garlic sauce is quite literally no different from the regular dairy-filled one.

What Do I Need?
- herbs & spices
- onion powder
- garlic powder

- neutral oil for deep frying
- garlic butter sauce – vegan butter, garlic, hot sauce (optional)

Gluten free substitutions: Substitute all purpose flour with a gluten free flour blend or finely ground gluten free oat flour. Use gluten free oat milk or unsweetened soy milk.
