Ingredients

  • 1 lb shiitake mushrooms or portabella
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Clean the mushrooms and trim the mushroom stems. Tear the mushrooms into thin pieces.  You can also slice the mushrooms into thin strips, about ¼-inch thick. These pieces shrink when they cook so keep that in mind if you want bigger pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce , maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, Sriracha, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together to create a marinade.
  • Place the mushroom strips and the marinade in a Ziploc bag.  Allow the mushrooms to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Once the mushrooms have marinated, remove them from the bowl and gently squeeze out any excess liquid. Place the mushroom strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the mushroom strips in the preheated oven for 1 hour.  Flip the mushrooms and bake for an additional hour.
  • Once the mushroom jerky is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • Once cooled, store the mushroom jerky in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Equipment

  • Baking sheet

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the flavors by adding your favorite spices or seasonings to the marinade. You can experiment with different mushroom varieties for unique taste experiences.  I also like using a combination of mushrooms.
  • For even more flavor, let the mushrooms marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
  • If after 2 hours you have any mushroom pieces that aren't dried out, simply put them back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
