Recipe: Low-Carb, Gluten-Free Crispy Avocado Wedges
As you can probably guess from my many food posts, I rarely go out of my way to eat low-carb meals. But when your beau is on the ketogenic diet, you find a way to make things work!
I whipped up these low-carb, keto-friendly crispy avocado wedges in our air fryer, and paired them with a spicy cumin aioli for dipping. They were super crispy, absolutely delicious, and also happen to be gluten-free!

- 1/8 tsp cumin
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp Sriracha hot chili sauce
- 1/8 tsp Sambal Oelek chili garlic sauce
Instructions:

For a creamier aioli, I used half parts regular mayo and Kewpie Japanese mayo. Crispy and well-seasoned on the outside with a warm, rich avocado interior, the avocado wedges paired amazingly with the spicy cumin aioli!
