• 1/4 cup (25 g) shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 12 slices of bacon
• Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or chives

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.

4. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the avocado mixture and shape it into a small ball. Wrap each ball with half a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed.

Step 4: Bake

5. Arrange the bacon-wrapped bites on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.

Step 5: Serve

6. Remove the bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives for added freshness. Serve warm and enjoy!

• Air fryer option: Cook the bites in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes for an extra crispy texture.
• Make-ahead: Prepare the filling and assemble the bites a day in advance. Store them covered in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
