Garlic Butter Portobello Mushroom (Cremini Mushrooms) with Thyme
Gently cooking mushrooms brings out their natural sweetness and pairs perfectly with the richness of garlic butter. This versatile recipe works just as well with portobellos or baby bellas (cremini mushrooms), making it a great option for those who can’t decide between the two.

Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with Spinach & Artichoke
Understanding the carb content in various ingredients is crucial for low-carb diets. While portabella mushrooms are relatively low in carbs, other vegetables like artichokes and spinach do contain carbohydrates. When calculating net carbs, these amounts shouldn’t be a concern. For instance, a single portobello mushroom cap contains 4 grams of total carbs, with the majority (3 grams) being fiber.
Similarly, a cup of cooked spinach has approximately 7 grams of carbs, with over half (4 grams) coming from fiber. This vegetarian stuffed portobello mushroom recipe may have slightly more carbs due to the presence of other ingredients. Nonetheless, when focusing on net carbs, each of these stuffed mushrooms contains less than 10 grams, making them a relatively healthier option.
