These Saucy Buffalo Mushrooms are the best way to get your mushrooms in! Pan-fried mushrooms tossed in a simple garlicky buffalo sauce, then topped with vegan blue cheese crumbles and fresh parsley. All you need is 20 minutes to make this simple appetizer.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Mushrooms: This recipe is best with oyster mushrooms, morel mushrooms, or shiitake mushrooms. Feel free to use all of one type of mushroom, or a mix of all three!
- Buffalo hot sauce: Either Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce or Frank’s Red Hot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce are great here. Both are naturally dairy-free and vegan-friendly, but if you are looking for a version with a bit less heat, go with the Primal Kitchen. You can also opt for a homemade buffalo sauce, as desired.
- Garlic: Adds depth of flavor and aroma that enhances the entire dish.
- Vegan butter: Used to sauté the mushrooms and garlic and add additional savory richness to the final dish. If needed, olive oil or avocado oil can work in its place, but we’d recommend adding additional salt to taste to compensate for the flavor loss.
- Vegan blue cheese: We prefer to sprinkle these buffalo mushrooms with vegan blue cheese crumbles, but if desired, a blue cheese dressing or vegan ranch dressing would also work great!
How to Make Saucy Buffalo Mushrooms
- Melt the butter. Heat a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. Once warm, add the vegan butter and allow it to melt.
- Add mushrooms and garlic. Once the butter is melted, add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Stir in the buffalo sauce. Lower the heat and stir in the buffalo sauce until the mushrooms are well coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add cheese. We like to sprinkle on vegan blue cheese crumbles or drizzle on a vegan ranch or blue cheese dressing.
- Serve. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
