🔪 How to Make Keto Avocado Fries

To Make the Dipping Sauce

Add the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, garlic and paprika to a bowl.

Whisk until well combined. Chill the sauce until the avocado fries are ready.

To Make the Keto Avocado Fries

Cut each avocado in half, remove the pits and skin, then cut each half down the middle. Cut each quarter into 2 slices, giving you a total of 8 fries per avocado.

Add the pork rinds in a mini chopper or food processor and pulse until ground into small crumbs. You can also use pork panko and skip this step.

Add in the almond flour, parmesan cheese, herbs and spices.

Blend until you have a finely ground breading, the pour them into a bowl. Add the beaten egg into a second bowl.

Dip the avocado into the egg, then into the breading mixture (lightly, do not press into the mixture).

Shake off any excess breading and set aside.

Add the oil to a large pot with high sides and heat on medium high. Fry the avocado in small batches for only 30-60 seconds, or once golden brown.  

Set on paper towels to cool slightly before serving with the dipping sauce.

☑️ Storage Instructions

The crispy coating is best when they are freshly made. But you can store leftovers for up to a couple of days in the fridge.

💡 Tips for Purchasing and Storing Avocados

Picking out the perfect avocado can be challenging. Storing it to maximize its freshness is even more of a challenge. Hopefully, these tips will help:

• Look for avocados that have uniform texture all over. If there’re soft spots, that means they’re bruised.

• Don’t judge by the color of the fruit. Avocado’s come in several varieties and the color will be different based on the type.

• Firmness tells it all. If an avocado is too firm to the touch, then it hasn’t ripened. If you’re going to need them several days in advance, these may be a good choice, as they ripen well sitting on the counter. If they’re super soft, they’re either too ripe or will need to be used immediately. Gently putting pressure on the fruit is all that is needed, don’t squeeze them too hard.

• If you have an avocado that has not ripened, don’t store it in the fridge. Chilling avocados halts the ripening process. Instead, put it in a paper bag on the window sill, and it will help it ripen quicker.

• Once the avocado has reached the desired degree of ripeness you prefer, you can store leftovers in the fridge.

• To optimize their freshness in the fridge, sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and place in a food saver storage bag, with all the air vacuumed out. They’re usually best used within 3 days of slicing.

• You can even freeze avocados. To do so, blend your avocados with a little lemon juice in a food processor, place in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a few months. Just know that the texture will change once they’ve been frozen.

🍴 What to Serve with Avocado Fries

You can serve these fries with anything you would serve regular French fries with. From homemade Smash Burgers and Fried Shrimp to Keto Chicken Tenders, they’ll go with just about anything.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Other veggies: If you’re not a fan of avocado, you may want to try these Zucchini Fries or these Fried Dill Pickles a try. Another great alternative to French fries are Jicama Fries! You’ll be surprised at how close to potatoes they are!

• Seasonings: Experiment with different spices to customize the flavor of the coating. Try adding smoked paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.

• Dipping sauces: Serve the avocado fries with a variety of dipping sauces for added flavor. Try other classic options like Ranch Dressing, Marinara Sauce, or a spicy Chipotle Aioli.

Are Avocado on Keto Okay?

Avocados are perfect for Keto! This is because avocados are high in several vitamins and minerals, including potassium. Avocado’s have more potassium than bananas! Potassium intake from avocados can help relieve some of the symptoms people have with Keto flu.

They’re also a wonderful source of “good” fat, which is a very important component of Keto.

How Many Carbs in Avocado?

Because avocado’s range in size, it’s best to determine portion size by weight. There are 4 net carbs per 2 oz. serving of avocado.

Can I Substitute Almond Flour With Another Type of Flour?

Yes, you can substitute almond flour with other types of flour, such as coconut flour or pecan flour. However, keep in mind that the texture and flavor will vary.

Can I Bake Avocado Fries?

Yes, you can bake the avocado fries if you prefer. Simply place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a 400°F preheated oven until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through baking.
