Turn any vegetable into fries and it’s bound to be good. Sweet potatoes, avocados, parsnips, squash, and yes, even portobello mushrooms are all excellent substitutions for the regular french fry. I had two different versions of portobello fries, ones coated in panko, and others just lightly floured. Although both were good, this recipe is a little different and a little more special with the addition of grated parmesan. Batter the portobello mushrooms with spices and parmesan and fry them until golden brown. Serve this vegetarian side dish as an appetizer or side with a delicious cilantro lime aioli dipping sauce and you’ll be regretting not making more!
