Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Fries
- 2 large avocados, sliced 1/2 inch thick wedges
- 1 lime
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup flour
- vegetable oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the avocado fries.
- Prepare Avocado: Squeeze the lime juice over the avocado slices to add flavor and prevent browning.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, kosher salt, and coarse ground black pepper until fully combined.
- Coat Avocado: Dredge each avocado slice first in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with panko bread crumbs ensuring an even covering.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated avocado slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Apply Oil Spray: Lightly spray the avocado fries with vegetable oil spray for a crispy finish.
- Bake First Side: Bake the avocado fries in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until they start to turn golden brown.
- Flip and Bake Second Side: Flip the fries over, spray again with vegetable oil spray, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until crisp and golden.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados to maintain structure during baking.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the fries for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor as avocado fries can soften if left to sit.
- Substitute gluten-free flour and panko if you require a gluten-free option.
- For added flavor, sprinkle some paprika or chili powder into the breading mixture.
