Crispy Keto Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Fries with Chipotle Mayo
If you are on the Keto diet and missing the satisfying crunch of traditional fries, this recipe is your new holy grail. These Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Fries are not just a low-carb substitute; they are a decadent upgrade. By wrapping creamy, nutrient-dense avocado wedges in savory, salty bacon, we create a texture explosion—crispy on the outside, buttery soft on the inside. This dish acts as a perfect 'fat bomb,' providing the high-quality healthy fats essential for maintaining ketosis, thanks to the monounsaturated fats in the avocado and the satiety-boosting protein in the bacon. Avocados are also a powerhouse of potassium, helping to combat the 'keto flu.' Paired with a zesty, homemade Chipotle Mayo, this snack hits every flavor note: salty, smoky, spicy, and creamy. Whether you need a crowd-pleasing appetizer for game day or a substantial midday snack to crush cravings, these keto fries deliver big on flavor without spiking your insulin.
The Masterplan
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or fit a wire rack over the baking sheet for extra crispiness.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and carefully peel off the skin. Slice each avocado half into 6 equal wedges, totaling 24 wedges.
Take a half-slice of bacon and wrap it snugly around each avocado wedge. The bacon should overlap slightly to stay in place. Place the wrapped wedge on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning blend over the wrapped avocados. Go easy on the salt, as the bacon is naturally salty.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Halfway through cooking, use tongs to carefully flip the fries so the bacon crisps evenly on all sides. For extra crunch, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
While the fries bake, prepare the dip. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, and lime juice until smooth.
Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes (the avocado will be very hot). Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately with the chipotle mayo.
Air Fryer Option: Place wrapped wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
