Notes
Nutrition note: Net carbs are approximate and based on 4 servings. Brands of almond flour, pork rind crumbs, parmesan and cream can vary, so check your own labels if you track macros closely.
Keto tip: Pork rind crumbs keep these mushrooms low carb while still giving them a crispy, breaded-style coating. They can be salty, especially with parmesan, so season lightly at first.
Air fryer note: I love using the air fryer for keto recipes because it gives that crisp, fried-style finish without traditional breadcrumbs or deep frying. For the best texture, pat the mushrooms dry and cook them in a single layer.
