Description
These Crispy Avocado Fries are made by coating creamy avocado wedges in a seasoned breadcrumb crust and baking them until golden and crunchy. Perfect as a delicious appetizer, snack, or side dish, they pair wonderfully with dips like chipotle mayo or ranch.
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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the fries nicely.
- Slice Avocados: Cut the avocados into wedges, being careful to keep the slices firm so they don’t break during coating.
- Prepare Breading Stations: Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
- Coat Avocado Slices: Dredge each avocado wedge first in flour to help the egg adhere, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange and Spray: Place the coated avocado fries on a lined baking sheet and lightly spray them with cooking spray to promote crispiness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the breadcrumb coating is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce such as chipotle mayo, ranch, or lime yogurt dip for maximum flavor.
Notes
- An air fryer can be used instead: cook the fries at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes for a quicker, equally crispy result.
- Choose firm avocados to prevent the slices from breaking during the coating and baking process.
- Serve these fries with dips like chipotle mayo, ranch dressing, or lime-infused yogurt for delicious flavor variations.
