Ultimate Keto Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Fries with Chipotle Mayo
If there is one thing that defines the ultimate keto comfort food, it is the holy matrimony of creamy avocado and salty, crispy bacon. These Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Fries are not just a low-carb substitute for potato fries; they are an upgrade in every sense. Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and potassium, avocados provide the perfect creamy interior that melts in your mouth, contrasting beautifully with the crunch of oven-baked (or air-fried) bacon. This recipe is a fantastic 'fat bomb' that keeps you satiated for hours, making it perfect for game days, party appetizers, or a decadent snack when you need to hit your macros. Paired with a smokey, 2-minute Chipotle Mayo, this dish proves once and for all that living a ketogenic lifestyle requires absolutely no sacrifice in flavor.
The Masterplan
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using an air fryer, preheat to 390°F (199°C).
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and gently peel off the skin. Slice each half into 6 even wedges, totaling 24 wedges.
In a small bowl, mix the onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Lightly season the avocado wedges with this mixture.
Take a half-strip of bacon and wrap it tightly around each avocado wedge, slightly overlapping the ends so it stays secure.
Place the wrapped fries seam-side down on the baking sheet (or in the air fryer basket in a single layer).
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or air fry for 10-12 minutes, until the bacon is golden and crispy. If baking, you may want to broil for the last 2 minutes for extra crunch.
While the fries cook, prepare the dip. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, and smoked paprika until smooth.
Let the fries cool for 3-5 minutes before serving (the avocado will be very hot!). Serve alongside the spicy chipotle mayo.
