Keto stuffed mushrooms with cream cheese, spinach, and artichoke is an easy low-carb appetizer. You can easily adapt this dish with dairy-free cream cheese. Air fryer and oven instructions included!
Defrost the spinach in a microwave following the package instructions until it’s no longer frozen then, use a cheesecloth to wring out the liquid.
Drain the artichoke and either use a mini food processor or finely chop them.
In a large mixing bowl, add the spinach and artichoke and the rest of the ingredients from cream cheese to black pepper. Combine well. You can taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings to taste.
Gently clean the mushrooms with a dry paper towel and remove the mushroom stems. Lightly brush each mushroom with olive oil on all sides - insides and outside.
To assemble -
Use a small teaspoon to stuff the spinach mixture into each mushroom cap. A little top-over is totally okay. Use a little gentle pressure to press it in to help it adhere.
Place the parmesan cheese in a small bowl, dip the stuffed mushrooms - topping side - into the cheese, and use a little pressure to press it in.
Air fry -
Preheat the air fryer according to your default setting. Mine is a Cosori and the default is 400F (204C) for 5 minutes.
Place them into the air fryer basket with a little space between them. Air fry at 360F (182C) for 12 minutes. You might need to make it in two separate batches.
To bake -
Bake at 400F (204C) for 18-20 minutes or until the mushrooms are lightly golden brown on top.
To serve -
Carefully transfer the mushrooms onto a serving plate. It’ll be hot. Wait for a few minutes before serving and garnish with chive, if using.
Notes
It’s likely that you’ll have extra spinach cream cheese spread left over. Use it for a bagel spread or mixed into scrambled eggs for breakfast!
To make ahead, you can prepare the mushroom fillings first - spinach with water wrung out, chopped artichoke, and cream cheese filling - a day in advance. Cover the bowl with saran wrap and store it in the fridge. Only stuff the mushrooms when you are ready to bake.
You can also use white buttons and baby bella mushrooms.
