Crispy Everything Bagel Keto Avocado Wedges
If there is one snack that perfectly bridges the gap between indulgent comfort food and nutrient-dense fuel, it is these Crispy Everything Bagel Keto Avocado Wedges. Imagine the creamy, buttery texture of a perfectly ripe avocado encased in a golden, crunchy shell exploding with the savory, garlicky, nutty notes of everything bagel seasoning. This recipe was born out of a craving for 'fries' without the heavy carb load, leaning instead on the heart-healthy monounsaturated fats found in avocados. By replacing standard breadcrumbs with a blend of almond flour and sharp Parmesan cheese, we create a coating that isn't just low-carb—it's actually more flavorful than the original. These wedges are a powerhouse of texture: the heat transforms the warm avocado into a melt-in-your-mouth custard, while the exterior provides that satisfying audible crunch. Whether you are strictly keto, gluten-free, or just looking for a wholesome party appetizer that won't leave you feeling sluggish, these wedges are a game-changer.
The Masterplan
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or preheat your air fryer to 390°F (195°C).
Slice each avocado half into 4 thick wedges, totaling 16 wedges.
Set up a dredging station. In one shallow bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and a pinch of salt. In a second bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, Everything Bagel Seasoning, and a pinch of pepper.
Dip each avocado wedge into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then press firmly into the almond flour mixture to coat all sides evenly.
Place the coated wedges on the prepared baking sheet or in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly mist with avocado oil cooking spray to ensure crispiness.
If baking: Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. If air frying: Cook for 6-8 minutes, checking halfway to ensure the coating doesn't burn.
Let the wedges cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the coating to set. Serve warm with ranch or spicy mayo.
