Air Fryer Portobello Buns
Portobello Mushroom Buns are a great low-carb/keto-friendly option when it comes to burgers and sandwiches, making them a healthy and delicious alternative to bread. Their meaty texture ensures they won't fall to disappoint.
A bit messy though these Portobello Buns make for a perfect alternative to bread or if you are looking for some added meaty plant-based bread alternative. My diet is mostly plant-based, and Portobellos are a staple in my diet. They are very versatile and absorbed virtually any flavour.
I love this recipe simply because the portobello mushrooms make for a great swap for bread. Since I have a gluten intolerance, I can’t exactly enjoy a good slice of bread or rustic baguette; and I’m not a big fan of gluten-free bread. There is something unfulfilling about it.
This Portobello Bun Sandwich features veggies sandwiched between portobello mushrooms, which also makes it so satisfying! You can use nearly any sort of ingredients to sandwich together.
In the past, I’ve cooked the portobello in the oven, which turn out great! For this recipe, I used my new favourite kitchen tool: the air fryer!
I know, I’m a little late in the game… I’m wondering what took me so long to buy one! If you’re new to air frying and looking for a good recipe to try, this is a great one. And, if you haven’t jumped on the air fryer trend yet, I’m sharing the 3 best air fryers according to air fryer lovers below.
