As a result, these bites have a crispy outside and a juicy, delicate inside that makes them both gratifying and irresistible. Serve it with ranch, garlic aioli, or a hot keto marinara for dipping. These Crispy Garlic Mushroom Bites prove that flavor and crunch that we don’t have to sacrifice when following a low-carb diet.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
MUSHROOMS:
- Mushrooms keep carbohydrates low while adding a meaty mouth feel. The ideal bite-sized mushrooms are button or cremini mushrooms.
EGGS:
- Eggs serve as a binding agent in order to keep the almond flour and Parmesan crust together. Beat them thoroughly before covering the mushrooms evenly.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour provides a breaded, crispy feel without adding carbohydrates. It is the keto version of breadcrumbs.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- Parmesan cheese adds crunch and flavor. Freshly grated cheese melts more easily and it provides the golden coating.
GARLIC POWDER:
- The addition of garlic powder provides the savory depth in the coating. It enhances the overall seasoning and goes well with mushrooms.
AVOCADO OIL:
- Avocado oil spray helps crisp the coating and adds a golden touch to the nibbles without deep-frying.
