Holy Guacamole guys!

I FINALLY got this appetizer posted. It has literally been on my radar for over a year. It’s been on my blog to-do list forever. Well… not now! I can scratch that one off! And it’ll feel sooo good!

Bacon Guacamole Sweet Potato Bites

Are you a list maker? I am. I make lists for everything. I’d like to think they help keep me organized, but these days I’m pretty confident they’re more for reminders (my memory just isn’t as spiffy these days).

I have lists everywhere. If you come to my house and take a look around, I can guarantee you’ll find at least a handful of them hanging around. On my counter, on my dining room table, my junk drawer, a million in my purse…

A couple of months ago I was at my cousin’s house for a visit. A few days later she sent me a text with a picture OF A LIST! And asked if it was mine… Why yes, yes it is.

Anyway, can we talk about these bite-size rounds of deliciouness for a minute?

Bacon Guacamole Sweet Potato Bites

These bacon guacamole sweet potato bites are a household favourite. Whenever Mr. FIL and I have a wine and appetizer night, you can guarantee these are on the menu.

What I also love about them is they’re made with all-natural ingredients, and whole foods.

If you’re like me, I tend to over-indulge when it comes to appetizers. So when that happens with these bites, (which it always does!) I know that I’m eating a good nutritious snack.

So, what do you need for this recipe?

  1. Nitrate-free bacon
  2. Sweet Potatoes
  3. Avocado
  4. Cilantro
  5. Fresh lime juice
  6. Salt and pepper
  7. Avocado oil
  8. Green onions
  9. Tomatoes

A pretty simple list of ingredients.

I love taking this appetizer to parties too. It seems to cover most of the dietary bases:

Gluten-free ✔ Dairy-free ✔ Paleo ✔ Healthy ✔

(It’s kind of low-carb-ish, if you do lazy keto) ?

I hope you enjoy this appetizer as much as I do.

Happy Eating 🙂

Guacamole
