When you combine two favorite keto foods - avocado and bacon - you get a flavor explosion! Creamy avocado is wrapped in bacon and air fried to get a crispy, crunchy exterior.

Bacon Wrapped Avocado Slices in the Air Fryer

When I first heard of an air fryer, I knew I had to cook bacon in it.

Air fryers are known for producing crispy food while maintaining a juicy interior, like my crispy, gooey fried cheese sticks. Wrapping avocado slices with bacon and frying them in the air fryer is a genius foodie move. Mostly because anything wrapped in bacon is stellar. The outside bacon layer is crispy and crunchy. But the avocado slice is creamy and your teeth will sink right in.

These bacon avocado fries are too good to not be shared with your friends and family. Like regular low carb fries, you can serve them at a potluck or BBQ. They also make a good game day appetizer.

Bacon wrapped avocado also makes a great savory fat bomb when you want to increase your fat intake for the day. Two slices have 12.5 grams of fat and only 0.7 carbs!!

Dip it in ranch or your favorite BBQ sauce.

I love dipping these in ranch or garlic aioli. They're also great next to a simple salad.

You can wrap them ahead of time and refrigerate until you're ready to cook. Air fry them right before serving so the bacon stays crispy.

The perfect avocado

Selecting the perfect avocado can be tricky. It’s devastating when you pick out an avocado from the store, bring it home and it’s filled with patchy brown spots when you slice into it. Nobody likes an overripe avocado! Don’t worry, I have some tips to help you find the perfect one. Step one is to look for an avocado that is greenish black. A bright green avocado indicates that it is under ripe and a black one usually means it is over ripe. Next, handle the avocado and give a gentle squeeze. You are looking for one that is firm but pushes in just a tad when you give it a squeeze. It shouldn’t be rock hard because that means it is probably not ripe yet. If the avocado is too squishy, then it is most likely brown inside. Leave it behind! The final way you can tell if an avocado is ripe is by peeling off the stem. If underneath the stem, it is green in color, then the avocado is ready to eat and most likely perfectly ripe. If the flesh under the stem is brown, the fruit is over ripe and probably has brown patches on the flesh.

Air fryers

Air fryers are very popular appliances lately. They work by circulating the air around the entire food, so every angle is getting exposed and fried at the same time. They don’t require excess oil like pan frying does. Often just the fat inside the food provides enough oil to get the food crispy. They crisp up the outside of your food while keeping the inside juicy, without over drying. The bacon wrapped around the avocado fries gets crispy and crunchy in the air fryer.

Any brand of air fryer will work for this recipe. The air fryer I use is by Philip’s.

Thin cut or thick cut bacon

I used thin cut bacon in this recipe because I prefer crispy, crunchy bacon. Thick cut bacon works too, but you will probably need to add a couple of minutes to the cook time so the bacon gets cooked all the way through.

What to serve with bacon wrapped avocado slices?

I like to enjoy these avocado slices as a snack or appetizer, but they make a delicious low carb side dish too!

Reheating bacon wrapped avocado in the air fryer

If you end up with leftover bacon fried avocado fries, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The bacon will get soft, but you can crisp it back up in the air fryer.

To reheat avocado fries in the air fryer, place the fries back onto the air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees for 3 to 4 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and heated through.
