Air Fryer Avocado Bites
Description
Crispy air fryer avocado bites with a crunchy pork rind coating and a creamy center: a 3-ingredient keto, low-carb, gluten-free snack.
Ingredients
- 1 large Avocado, ripe but firm, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup pork rinds, crushed
Optional Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika,
- 2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese,
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Lime zest
Instructions
- Pat the avocado cubes dry.
- Beat the egg in one bowl. Mix the pork rinds and any seasonings in another.
- Dip each cube in egg, let the excess drip off, then roll in the pork rinds, pressing to coat.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and lightly spray the basket.
- Arrange the bites in a single layer and air fry for 6 to 8 minutes, turning gently halfway, until golden.
- Rest 1 minute, then serve with your favorite dip.
Equipment
- Sharp knife and cutting board
- 2 shallow bowls
- Zip-top bag and rolling pin (or food processor) for crushing pork rinds
- Tongs
- Oil spray
Notes
Use ripe but firm avocados so the cubes hold their shape. Best served right away; reheat leftovers at 375°F for 2 to 3 minutes. For a non-keto version, swap the pork rinds for breadcrumbs.
