Avocado Fries
Avocado fries are a delicious, healthier alternative to traditional fries, with a crispy outside and creamy inside. They're easy to prepare and make a perfect snack or side dish.
Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 3 shallow bowls or plates
- 1 mixing spoon
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados avocados
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Season with salt and pepper.
- 2 large eggs Beaten until well combined.
- 1 cup breadcrumbs Preferably panko.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- as needed cooking spray or olive oil For drizzling.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out carefully. Cut each half into wedges or fry-sized sticks.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one for flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt.
- Dip each avocado wedge first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture to coat thoroughly.
- Place the breaded avocado fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and lightly spray or drizzle olive oil over them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving.
- Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce.
Notes
For an extra kick, consider adding cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
These avocado fries can also be made in an air fryer for an even crispier texture; reduce the cooking time to about 10-15 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
