Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados (firm enough to slice but ripe for creaminess)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour to make it gluten-free)
- 2 large eggs (beaten, room temperature for best adhesion)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese-style recommended for extra crispiness)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
- Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel off the skin. Slice each half into 6-8 wedges, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Place the flour in one shallow bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and mix the panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
- Working one at a time, gently toss each avocado wedge in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip into the egg, letting the excess drip off, and finally coat thoroughly with the seasoned panko mixture. Press the crumbs onto the avocado to stick well.
- Place the breaded avocado fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they’re not touching. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the coating is golden brown and crispy. Around the 10-minute mark, flip the fries gently and spray the other side for even crisping.
- Let the fries cool for a couple of minutes on a cooling rack or the baking sheet. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Choose ripe but firm avocados to avoid mushy fries. Pat avocado slices dry before coating. Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness. Flip fries halfway through baking for even browning. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to keep fries crispy. For vegan option, replace eggs with a flax egg or aquafaba. Air fryer method: cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
