Drain any excess liquid from the mushrooms. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the mushrooms and toss again until lightly coated.

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the coated mushrooms in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Tips
- For an extra crispy texture, ensure the mushrooms are well-drained before coating with cornstarch.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days, but will lose some crispiness.
