Why You’ll Love These
These fries are a keto-friendly twist on a classic comfort food, but without the carbs! By using healthy fats from avocado and parmesan, and replacing traditional breadcrumbs with crushed pork scratchings, you’ll get that irresistible crunch without the guilt. Plus, they bake to crispy perfection in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
1 ripe avocado
A handful of grated parmesan
1 egg
1 pack of pork scratchings (ground into crumbs)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Mix It All Together: In a bowl, mash the avocado, egg, and grated parmesan until it forms a smooth, slightly sticky mixture. If it’s too runny, don’t worry- just add a little of the pork scratchings to help bind the mixture.
Shape the Fries: Using a spoon, take small amounts of the mixture and shape them into chip-like pieces about 1 cm thick. Remember, the thinner you shape them, the crispier they’ll get! Place them onto the baking paper.
Add the Crunch: sprinkle each fry with the crushed pork scratchings. This gives them that amazing crunch when they come out of the oven!
Bake to Perfection: Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for around 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy to your liking. You’ll know they’re ready when they look crunchy on the outside but still tender on the inside.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve your keto cheesy fries with your favourite low-carb dip—think sour cream, guacamole, or spicy mayo. Delicious!
My Tips for the Perfect Crispy Cheesy Avocado Fries
Shape Matters: The thinner the fries, the crispier they will be. If you like extra crispy fries, try to make them as narrow as possible!
Dips Are Key: Pair these keto cheesy avocado fries with a keto-friendly dip like garlic aioli, guacamole, or sour cream to elevate the flavours even more.
Experiment: Don’t hesitate to throw in some extra seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or a sprinkle of chili flakes for a bit of heat.
