Method:
Preheat the oven to 392°F / 200°C.
Make a seasoning mix by combining all dry ingredients together. This includes sage, smoked paprika, all-purpose seasoning, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, onion powder, cayenne pepper, garlic salt, and black pepper.
Keep oyster mushrooms in large clusters, add oil and gently rub with half of the seasoning mix, being careful not to break apart into small pieces.
Save 2 tbsp of seasoning mix for later (salad) and then add lemon, water and maple syrup to the remaining mix. Mix together and set aside.
Add oil to a hot skillet, add a couple oyster mushroom clusters and press down while frying. Flip mushrooms and press down again. Fry until browned. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.
Add fried, pressed oyster mushroom clusters to a skewer. Brush generously with liquid seasoning mix and place on a baking tray. Put in the oven to bake for 15 minutes.
Remove mushroom kebabs from the oven and slice.
Make salad.
Serve with flatbread, mushroom kebab pieces and vegan Greek style yogurt
