Crispy Oven Fried Garlic Mushrooms
Grain free, low carb, gluten free breaded, and easy to make garlic mushrooms that are baked in the oven.
I am so excited about these Crispy Oven Fried Garlic Mushrooms!! I feel like a kid at Christmas, because these are very simple and so insanely delicious. It is hard to believe these are grain free and low carb legal! These mushrooms are grain free breaded and baked in the oven “Shake and Bake” style, which I can’t even say that phrase without thinking of the movie “Talladega Nights“, (so funny). My husband jokingly asked if there was crack in these, because he could not stop eating them.
I am happy to serve these as appetizers, snacks or as an awesome side dish. If you are on the fence about trying these, then get off the fence immediately and try them. Unless, of course, you hate mushrooms (how they grow them and what not). Still, even so, make them for someone you love that likes mushrooms. They will be eternally grateful.
Scroll towards the bottom of post for recipe and directions.
These are made “shake and bake” style.

Have a Resident Vegan, so I made these vegan and even lower carb by replacing the egg with egg substitute, fried onion n crispy jalapeño for the almond and sunflower seeds. Even added some hot sauce for extraspice. Turned out wonderful!!!
Nadia, I’m so glad it worked out with the vegan egg substitute and the other yummy items you added. The onion and jalapeno sound really good!
Wow! so good! ate almost the whole pound! (oops). I did make changes because I didn’t have sunflower seeds, but I did have pork rinds followed recipe otherwise. Smashed the rinds in a baggie really good and did as you said. They were really delish! If I made with these ingredients again I would leave out the salt because the rinds are salty enough… Ty so much for your great recipes and inspiration!
Thank you Teresa for trying the recipe and taking the time comment and share your pork rind substitution with us. I am glad it turned out well.
I LOVE fried mushrooms as appetizers, and oven frying them is such a great idea! I will definitely have to try these! Brilliant!
Awe, thank you Paige. I love your site <3
What a great recipe! I love fried mushrooms but I really don’t need all the stuff in that coating or the deep frying! These look and sound like a wonderful alternative! I am definitely going to give these a try!
Awe thanks so much Chris 🙂
What an awesome idea…can’t wait to try these!
They are a favorite at my house, Wajeeha.
Oh this have been on my to try list for a while but not as healthy as yours…I love the use of almond flour and no frying it this…you have all the right to be excited…:) How not when you get to enjoy a lovely treat with minimum calories…I need to try your version. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Manal 🙂
Oh! Oh! I always did love a good mushroom and these oven fried garlic mushrooms look absolutely divine. And since they are baked in the oven. . .I don’t have to feel guilty eating a whole plate full of them. I bet this are also fantastic paired up with dipping sauces.
Thanks Lynn 🙂 You’re too kind!
Love mushrooms as appetizers
and thanks for introducing to a new recipe
No problem Arunima, thank you for stopping by.
Saving this recipe for later… it looks absolutely freakin insanely delicious. (I hope that gets the point across!) ha! I love fried mushrooms but haven’t made them at home in a while!!
Awe, thank you Whitney, you are super sweet! 🙂
I have some leftover mushrooms from another recipe , this would be the perfect appetizer to make. They really sound delicious and heathy too!
Thank you for your most kind words Immaculate!:)
Our DIL eats GF, and my husband is diabetic so he needs low carb – this will work for both of them!! Cant wait to make this!
Hi Kay, thank you for commenting. I hope they enjoy them.
What is the half of sea salt a tsp. or a tbsp. Thank You!
Luanne, it is 1/2 tsp. Sorry that went missing.
I can’t wait to try these! They look amazing!! There is a local restaurant that serves their ‘shrooms with a horseradish/sour cream dipping sauce that is amazing! I may try to recreate that. Thank you so much for the recipe!
Rebecca, I really like the sound of the horseradish cream dipping sauce. I used to buy a sauce like that for sandwiches. Let me know how it turns out. 🙂
What can I substitute for almond flour and for ground sunflower seeds, since no one in my family is allergic to any foods? Is it possible to use plain all-purpose flour made from wheat? With maybe dry bread crumbs (we don’t need to be low-carb either)?
Gloria, I think the the dry bread crumbs would work.
Is there anything you could substitute for the egg? Allergic…
Beth, you can use unsweetened almond milk or other type of milk in place of egg wash.
Stacey (and Beth), in case that almond milk was too thin and lacked the gelatinous sticking power of egg on each mushroom, she might try stirring a bit of sour cream or mayonnaise into that regular milk (or almond, rice, soy, or coconut milk, etc). I’d hate for someone not to try this again if that milk just soaked up into the mushroom without providing enough viscosity to hold the almond flour mixture.
I’m looking forward to trying these tomorrow. Thanks for the enticing “marketing comments”; they sold me!
Thanks for the great tips Betsy! 🙂
Talk about a healthy munch on. Thanks! Love mushroom.
Sarah, Thank you so much for your kind words.

I will be making these soon! I assume it is 1/3 *cup* of sunflower seeds? I wonder what these would be like served with, say, a garlic aioli? 🙂
Carol, yes it is 1/3 cup & I don’t know how that part was erased. Garlic aioli sounds awesome! 🙂
I made these last night and they were delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
Bonnie,
Thanks for trying these and taking the time to comment. 🙂
These look amazing, Stacey! Sharing today on The Low Carb Test Kitchen.
Thank you Carolyn 🙂
What is the purpose of the sunflower seeds? Do you think it would work without it?
Thanks
Carol, I like the flavor that ground sunflower seeds adds to the breading. But you can use all almond flour also.
Thx u and very nice
Holy wow, these look like the tastiest thing I’ve seen all day!
Thank you Rachel 🙂
One of my former favorite appetizers was fried mushrooms!! I can’t wait to try this recipe!
🙂
Looks yummy. Is the carbcount for 1 mushroom or 9
Dee Kay, It is per one mushroom. I made 9, but my mushrooms were sort of on the large side.
I am trying to lose weight and have seen your recipes on line. They interest me and have tried one or two. Would like to become a “clean eater”
Sharyn, welcome! I’m happy to have you here on your clean eating journey.
