I think I would use a avocado that is not totally ripe so they dont turn to mush ;)

I made these today slides the avocado in 6 wedges wrapped with bacon and stuck toothpick in them ! They were delicious  and filling I had made two fried eggs to go with them and I was so filled I didn't eat the eggs !

One tip half way through I took toothpicks out so that I could fry even on each side 😊 enjoy
One question though since I am not too familiar with avocado what is consider small ? For two bet carbs ? I don't know how to judge it

Hi, Steph! :)

I found broiling them on a rack over a shallow pan works great and only takes 10-12 minutes.
As always, preheat the broiler about 3 minutes.
Be sure to turn them over half way, and watch them closely to not burn.

The size of a medium avocado is slightly larger than an elongated baseball.
An average sized California (or Haas) avocado has 3 net carbs.
The Florida variety have about 7 net carbs.

Hi, Umpa! :)

I've seen avocados in the stores around here from Florida
and they were a little bigger.

Never seen any "monsters" that are 4 times the size of Haas, though.
Maybe they keep them on East Coast and Florida?

Haas have been selling here for 50¢ up to $1 each for a while now. The 99¢ store sells them 4 for $1, but they are small. Still good though.
