How to Store Keto Sautéed Mushrooms

Sautéed mushrooms should be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days. Whenever you wish to serve them, reheat the mushrooms in the microwave or in a hot skillet until heated thoroughly.

These keto sautéed mushrooms can also be frozen for up to 9 months, but freezing them makes them tougher, so they are then best used in a frittata or added to keto lasagna once thawed.
