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.
