Keto Mushroom and Zucchini Sauté

This quick and easy Keto recipe makes a deliciously simple veggie side. Our low carb sauté is prepared with sliced cremini mushrooms, tender zucchini, aromatic garlic, fragrant fresh basil, and tangy grated Parmesan cheese. This Keto dish makes a great weeknight side when you are short on time, perfect served with your favorite low carb mains.

Can I Use Different Mushrooms?

We have used sliced cremini mushrooms for this Keto side recipe. The mushrooms can easily be swapped for an alternative mushroom if desired. Button mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, or any other standard white mushroom will work well. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.

Can I Make This Vegan?

We have added grated parmesan to our low carb recipe for additional fats and flavor. If you would like to make the recipe vegan, you can swap the parmesan for Keto-friendly vegan cheese. Alternatively, you can substitute for some nutritional yeast flakes.

      I used ghee, instead of olive oil, and didn't have any basil. It was still delicious. Will be adding this to the repertoire.
