Why Mushrooms Are a Keto Favorite
Mushrooms are low in carbs but high in flavor, fiber, and essential minerals. One cup of white mushrooms contains just 2.3g of net carbs and offers a decent amount of potassium and B vitamins (USDA Source). This makes them a smart, nutrient-dense option for keto eaters.
Ingredients:
- 9 oz mushroom caps (tops only)
- 6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions:
- Remove the inner flesh of each mushroom cap and finely chop it.
- In a bowl, combine chopped mushroom flesh with dried dill, parsley, salt, and softened butter. Mix well.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until evenly combined.
- Fill each mushroom cap with the cheddar-herb mixture.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
- Place mushrooms in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes or until the tops are golden and the cheese is melted.
- Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy while hot!
