KETO Avocado Parmesan "Bread"

DSCN7781.JPG

I just started a KETO diet and I've been doing some research, trying to find KETO recipes that I'd like. A dear friend of mine gave me this recipe to try and I really liked it! I made a few slight changes. The original recipe called it "bread" and I can see it being used that way, but it's so much more than that. You can use it as a taco shell or tortilla shell or the base of a KETO salad piling your favorite salad ingredients on top or make smaller rounds and use as a snack like you would crackers. They're great like that paired with your favorite cheese! It has a pleasant texture and a nice "nutty" toasted avocado taste. As long as I'm on this diet I will surely have these on hand!
