How Many Carbs Are In Mushrooms?

Mushrooms are low in carbs, but just HOW LOW are they in carbs? If you're familiar with a keto lifestyle, you're probably aware that tracking macros can be essential to your success, especially if you've hit a weight loss plateau.

What Are The Best Mushrooms To Air Fry?

As a mushroom lover, I will tell you that I try not to play favorites with flavor. Each type of mushroom adds something different and delicious to a dish.

For air frying, however, I prefer Baby Bella mushrooms or button mushrooms. They hold up to the higher temperatures without drying out and they're one of the more mild-flavored mushrooms.

If you're cooking for picky eaters or just want this to be a universal pairing for your main course, they are the best choice for mushrooms to air fry.

Ingredients You'll Need

With less than five ingredients, you can have a tasty low carb side dish. Here's what you'll need to have in your kitchen before you get started:

• Baby Bella Mushrooms
• Olive Oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic

Tips And Tricks

• Change it up. Feel free to swap out the Baby Bella mushrooms with your favorite type of mushroom or whatever you happen to have in your fridge.
• Marinate. After you have washed and dried your mushrooms, toss in teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, or even Worcestershire sauce and marinate for 15 minutes for an extra punch of flavor.
• Make them consistent. Whichever way you choose to cut (or not cut) your mushrooms before tossing them in your air fryer, make sure they are uniform in size. This will help them cook evenly.
