Ingredients:
- 2 large avocados, ripe but firm
- 10-12 strips of bacon
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Toothpicks (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the avocado: Slice each avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully peel off the skin. Cut the avocado halves into thick slices, about 4-5 slices per half.
- Season the avocado slices: In a small bowl, mix together the black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Gently toss the avocado slices in the seasoning mix, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Wrap in bacon: Take one strip of bacon and wrap it tightly around each avocado slice. Start at one end and spiral the bacon around until the entire slice is covered. If necessary, secure the bacon with a toothpick to keep it in place.
- Bake: Place the bacon-wrapped avocado slices on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and browned. Flip the fries halfway through the baking time for even cooking.
- Serve: Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, chipotle mayo, or garlic aioli.
Enjoy these Bacon Avocado Fries as a delicious snack or appetizer that’s sure to be a hit with everyone!
