  1. Add the juice of half a lemon to your cup of plant milk.
  2. Chop mushrooms into 1/4 inch thick pieces.
  3. Heat 3-4 inches of oil in a large deep pot.
  4. Place the flour, salt, paprika, pepper and garlic powder in a medium bowl; stir to combine.
  5. Add the mushrooms to the milk mixture then dredge in the flour. Repeat the process until all pieces are coated.
  6. Place 8-10 pieces of mushrooms in the oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the mushrooms from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat the process with the remaining mushrooms.

  8. Optional to use a metal straw to puncture a little hole in the center to more closely mimic calamari!
