INGREDIENT NOTES:
SESAME OIL:
- Oil of roasted sesame will add a very unique & pleasant aroma to your food. You need to use just few drops as it has the strong sesame flavor.
MUSHROOMS:
- Never soak the mushrooms in water for cleaning. this will make your dish extra moist. Wipe the mushrooms using a cloth(wet). Use any mushroom from the cremini, button, or shiitake mushrooms.
SWEETENER:
- The use of erythritol/monk fruit will not raise your blood sugar level as they are low-calorie, zero-carb sweeteners. Add sweetener in granulated/syrup form to compensates for the saltiness.
MISO PASTE:
- Use yellow/white miso that must be low in carbs. Check the label before buying. This paste has a mild, sweet & salty flavor.
GINGER & GARLIC:
- Always use freshly minced garlic & ginger to have that classic aroma.
SOY SAUCE:
- It contributes to adding the deep umami flavor to the dish. If you also want to go gluten-free also then swap tamari with soy sauce.
OIL:
- Use oil of olives/avocado to saute the mushrooms. They have good fats & low carbs.
RICE VINEGAR:
- The acidity of rice vinegar complements the rich flavor of miso paste. Use the unseasoned rice vinegar to keep the carb count low.

TIPS:
- If you want mushrooms to brown properly, & absorb the glaze well, then never soak them in water for cleaning & pat them dry properly.
- The cremini, button, oyster, or shiitake mushrooms will work best for this recipe as they will give you the texture of meat despite being a plant. These mushrooms hold the glaze better than other mushrooms.
- We want crispy mushrooms, so spread them in a single layer. Otherwise, they will be soft & soggy if overcrowded.
- Carefully check the nutrition label. Your miso paste should be lowest in carbs.
STORAGE INFORMATION:
FRIDGE:
- Shift the leftover miso-glazed mushrooms in a container with a lid(tight). In this manner, you can enjoy them for four days while they’re still fresh!
FREEZER:
- The recipe doesn’t recommend freezing as the mushrooms will not be crispy anymore after defrosting.
FAQs:
Is the dish suitable for a vegan diet?
- Yes, this dish can be vegan-friendly with just a minor adjustment. Go for plant-based miso if you are vegan too.
Is that possible to bake mushrooms?
- Yes! After mixing the glaze, spread these mushrooms in a baking tray(parchment-lined) at 200 degrees C for around twenty-five mins. You will have the perfect glazed & roasted mushrooms!
If I have red miso, may I use that?
- Yes, you may use red miso. The only issue is that red miso is stronger & saltier. Use it carefully.
Can I glaze other vegetables using the same recipe?
- You can also roast cauliflower, zucchini, or eggplant along with the coating of miso glaze(red/white/yellow).
