Crispy Keto Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Fries with Spicy Ranch
If you have been missing the crunch of french fries on your ketogenic journey, prepare to have your mind blown. These Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Fries are not just a substitute; they are an upgrade. Imagine the creamy, buttery texture of a perfectly ripe avocado wrapped in a salty, crispy hug of smoky bacon. It is the ultimate collision of textures that satisfies every craving. Nutritionally, this snack is a powerhouse. Avocados are loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and potassium—essential for avoiding the 'keto flu'—while bacon adds that necessary protein and savory satisfaction. Paired with a homemade Spicy Ranch dip, this recipe is perfect for game days, party appetizers, or just a decadent afternoon snack that keeps your macros perfectly aligned with your fat-burning goals.
The Masterplan
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) or your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using an oven, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Carefully peel off the skin.
Slice each avocado half into 6 wedges, totaling 24 avocado wedges.
Take a half-slice of bacon and wrap it tightly around each avocado wedge. The bacon should overlap slightly to stick to itself.
Place the wrapped fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary) or arrange them on the baking sheet.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes or bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy.
While the fries cook, prepare the Spicy Ranch. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Let the fries cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the avocado to firm up slightly. Serve warm with the dipping sauce.
