Keto Tahini Mushrooms
These quick and easy Keto mushrooms make a delicious low carb side option. Our simple Keto mushroom recipe is prepared with sliced cremini mushrooms, olive oil, earthy tahini, lemon juice and aromatic garlic. The mushrooms are simply pan-fried on the stove until tender, then tossed in a tahini sauce, rich with Keto-friendly fats.
What is Tahini?
Tahini is a thick paste made from blended sesame seeds. Popular in Middle Eastern cuisine, tahini has a variety of uses and can be added to both sweet and savory dishes. It is also a great low carb alternative to nut butter and can be used to add extra healthy fats to dressings and sauces.
Serving Suggestions
These tender Keto mushrooms make a delicious low carb side, best served warm. The mushrooms would make a great accompaniment to a Middle Eastern inspired Keto main and can be enjoyed with meat or plant-based proteins. They can also be added to some low carb leaves, such as arugula, to create a warm Keto salad. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes or additions made to the original recipe.
