Ingredients
- 600g Portobello mushrooms (10.6 oz)
- 4 tbsp ghee (or coconut oil, red palm oil or other cooking oil), melted
- ½ tsp salt (I used pink Himalayan)
- dash freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to low, 300 F / 150 C. Slice the mushrooms thinly with a knife or using a mandolin. If you can, get the biggest mushrooms you can (they will shrink a lot).
- Place the mushrooms in a single layer on a baking tray lined with baking sheet (or any non-stick surface). You can put them close, they will shrink a lot. Brush each mushroom with melted ghee or any fat suitable for baking (oils with high smoke points, e.g. ghee, coconut oil, red palm oil, lard).
- Sprinkle the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper. If you prefer a spicier taste, just add some chilli powder, garlic powder, etc. Place the mushrooms in the oven and bake for 45-60 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Rotate the tray 2-3 times to make sure they are baked evenly. When done, cool down to room temperature and try not to eat them all! :-)
