These battered and fried avocado bites are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. The creamy avocado is coated in a crispy batter made with almond flour, nutritional yeast, and spices. They are then fried until golden brown and served with a garlic-lemon dip.
Avocado bites are a popular appetizer at many restaurants, but they can be easily made at home. The key to making great avocado bites is to use a good batter. This batter is made with almond flour, nutritional yeast, and spices. It is light and crispy, and it adheres well to the avocado. The avocado bites are then fried until golden brown. This gives them a crispy exterior and a creamy interior. The garlic-lemon dip is the perfect complement to the avocado bites. It is tangy and flavorful, and it adds a bit of extra moisture to the bites.
