These low carb 4-ingredient avocado bacon bites are the kind of snack that disappears the moment they hit the table. A coworker actually shared this trick with me during the big game last year—she walked in with a simple platter of avocado wedges wrapped in bacon, and we all hovered over it like it was the main event. The beauty here is in the contrast: creamy, bright green avocado inside, and crisp, deeply browned bacon outside. With just four ingredients and a straightforward bake, they’re ideal for game days, casual gatherings, or any night you want something savory and satisfying without a lot of fuss or carbs.
Serve these avocado bacon bites hot on a simple platter with toothpicks for easy grabbing. They pair nicely with a cool, tangy dip like sour cream mixed with lime juice and a pinch of salt, or a ramekin of ranch for something familiar. For a fuller spread, add a crunchy vegetable tray and a simple green salad to balance the richness, or set them alongside other small bites like cheese cubes or olives for a low-carb appetizer board. A cold beer, sparkling water with lime, or a crisp white wine works especially well to cut through the smoky, salty bacon.
Low Carb Avocado Bacon Bites
Servings: 6
Ingredients
3 medium ripe-but-firm avocados
18 thick-cut bacon slices, halved crosswise
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, then set a wire rack on top if you have one. This helps the bacon crisp evenly and keeps the bites from sitting in excess fat.
Cut each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Carefully peel off the skins. Slice each half into 3 wedges, giving you 6 wedges per avocado and 18 wedges total. Choose avocados that are ripe but still a bit firm so they hold their shape during baking.
In a small bowl, stir together the smoked paprika and kosher salt. This simple blend seasons both the avocado and the bacon without adding extra ingredients.
