FAQ.
Are mushrooms keto?
With 1 cup of mushrooms containing only 21 calories and 3.1 grams of carbs, mushrooms are a perfect vegetable for those on a keto diet.
Can I have fried mushrooms on keto?
Traditional store bought frozen mushrooms will not make a good choice for those on keto. Why? Frozen store bought mushrooms are typically breaded with flour making the carbs sky high. My keto fried mushrooms are perfect for those who miss fried mushrooms. I promise you will add this recipe to your favorite keto mushroom recipes.
Is almond flour keto?
Almond flour is a popular keto flour and is made from crushed almonds. Per 2 tablespoons, almond flour contains 3 grams of carbs and 1 gram of fiber. While many like to use almond flour in baking, it can also be used as a breading.
Can diabetics have almond flour?
Yes! With its low carb count, almond flour is fantastic for diabetics. You can replace the flour in your breading (or any recipe) by using a 1 to 1 ratio. Since almond flour does have some fat, I cut the fat in the recipe by half.
I am allergic to almond flour, can I use crushed pork rinds or coconut flour?
Sure!
This recipe seems a little bland. Can I add other seasonings?
Yes and yes! Please remember, I give you all a base recipe. Please please feel free to use your FAVORITE seasonings and spices.
