Description
Delicious Keto Baked Avocado Boats filled with spiced mince, perfect for a low-carb meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out a little bit of the flesh to create a larger cavity for the filling. Set the avocado halves aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the spices combine.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Place the avocado halves in a baking dish and fill each half with the spiced meat mixture.
- Top each filled avocado with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños to the meat mixture.
- You can substitute the ground meat with cooked shredded chicken or a plant-based meat alternative for a different flavor profile.
