Ingredients
Avocado Fries
- 2 firm ripe avocados
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare it for baking the avocado fries to a crispy golden finish.
- Slice the avocados: Cut the firm ripe avocados into wedges carefully to maintain their shape for coating and baking.
- Prepare the dredging stations: Place the flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and mix the panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, and salt in a third bowl.
- Coat the avocado slices: Dredge each avocado wedge first in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange for baking: Place the coated avocado slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly spray them with cooking spray to help crisp them up.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the fries are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce such as chipotle mayo, ranch, or lime yogurt dip.
Notes
- An air fryer can be used as an alternative cooking method at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes for a quicker, equally crispy result.
- Choose firm avocados to ensure the slices hold their shape during the coating and baking process.
- These fries pair excellently with dips like chipotle mayo, ranch dressing, or a zesty lime yogurt sauce for added flavor.
