So…. I had an amazing idea for making a low carb version of loaded baked potatoes – but using avocado. I recently posted my recipe for Loaded Cauliflower Mash – and without realizing it I've used lots of the same toppings! Can't go far wrong with bacon and cheese, I guess!

Avocado is a surprisingly good replacement for a baked potato, if you can get over the idea of eating it warm – which I know that some of you aren't keen on! If you DO like avocado warm – you just HAVE to try my Avocado Fries! Seriously moreish! 

How to Make a Loaded Baked Avocado

Place a ripe avocado (stone removed and halved) on a baking sheet, cut side up. You might like to skim a little of the skin off the base so that the avocado stands level. Broil for 2-3 minutes until warmed through. Use a fork to gently mash the avocado in it's skin, seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer one half of the avocado flesh to the top of the other, and discard the empty skin.

This would be lovely with a dollop of sour cream, too!
