This Keto Grilled Avocado Bruschetta is the perfect Low Carb and Gluten Free Summer BBQ Recipe for outdoor entertaining and snacking.
This year is undeniably the year of the Keto diet. While I don’t really promote diets for weight loss purposes, I have written extensively about the potential therapeutic merits of the Keto diet (you can read all the research and updates here).
One thing that I personally love about the diet is that it means fat is back. And there’s no denying that fat tastes great. This recipe for keto grilled avocado bruschetta is no exception. I mean, I have no issues with a toasty piece of bread topped with olive oil and fresh tomatoes, but avocado is just as worthy as a vehicle base. No jokes, keto or not, this recipe is delish.
How to Make Keto Grilled Avocado Bruschetta
So I am a huge fan of grilled avocados. I’ve used them in this beautiful keto-approved grilled avocado watermelon salad, and they’re making a comeback in this keto grilled avocado bruschetta. Once you get those gorgeous grill marks, I mix together a simple combination of fresh tomatoes, basil and olive oil, pile it onto my grilled avocado halves and add some melty mozzarella cheese. Finally, the whole thing gets finished off with a drizzle of balsamic glaze (which BTW, is one of my all time favourite ingredients). GUYS, HOW COULD THIS NOT BE AMAZING?!
Since bruschetta is really such a versatile ingredient, you can totally make this keto grilled avocado bruschetta your own. You can easily play with the herbs and cheese or add in your favourite ingredients like nuts, fruit or other veggies. The sky is really the limit when you’ve got such a damn tasty base.

Can you used canned diced tomatoes? And did you buy balsamic glaze or make it yourself? Thanks!
Abbey Sharp says
You could try diced tomatoes, but I would drain out the liquid really well so there’s only the tomato chunks left or else it will be too runny. I just used a store bought balsamic glaze to save time.

Hi Abbey
As a new follower of the keto diet I appreciated your comments and concerns that we need to keep a balance by including some veggies and pulses in our diet I make delicious keto buns filled with fiber and eat salads with every meal Although I eat more meat and butter keto doesn’t mean I eat large quantities of it I feel so much better on this diet! Aches and pain are diminished I feel satiated and more alert but it is always good to have critical thinking about what we listen and follow I am sticking to keto but heeding your advice thanks
Abbey Sharp says
So glad that you have found what works for you Marsha. Thanks for your comment!
