Keto Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Wedges with Spicy Chipotle Dip
"If there is one combination that proves the Keto diet is far from restrictive, it is the holy matrimony of creamy avocado and salty, crispy bacon. These Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Wedges are essentially the low-carb answer to 'avocado fries,' but instead of carby breadcrumbs, we use savory bacon to achieve that satisfying crunch. This recipe is a nutritional powerhouse; avocados provide a massive dose of potassium and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while the bacon adds the protein and sodium boost often needed to balance electrolytes on a ketogenic diet. Whether you are looking for the ultimate Super Bowl party appetizer, a decadent movie-night snack, or a savory 'fat bomb' to hit your macros, these wedges deliver. Paired with a zesty, 3-ingredient Chipotle Lime Dip, this dish strikes the perfect balance between heat, salt, and creaminess without kicking you out of ketosis."
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a wire rack over the sheet for extra crispiness. If using an Air Fryer, preheat to 390°F.
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and carefully peel off the skin. Slice each avocado half into 4 equal wedges, totaling 16 wedges.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Lightly dust the avocado wedges with this seasoning blend.
Take a half-slice of bacon and wrap it spirally around an avocado wedge, stretching the bacon slightly as you go to ensure it stays tight. Repeat for all wedges.
Place the wrapped wedges seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack. Ensure they are not touching to allow for even browning.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is rendered and crispy. If using an Air Fryer, cook for 10-12 minutes.
While the wedges cook, prepare the dip by whisking together the mayonnaise, chopped chipotle peppers, and lime juice in a small bowl.
Remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes to firm up before serving alongside the spicy chipotle dip.
