Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Fries
- 2 large avocados, sliced
- Juice of 1/2 lime (optional)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons oil (divided)
Chipotle Dipping Sauce
- See recipe link or use your favorite chipotle dipping sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and pour 1 tablespoon of oil onto a sheet tray or baking dish, spreading it evenly. Set aside to prepare the avocado fries.
- Prepare Avocado Slices: If desired, squeeze fresh lime juice over the avocado slices to keep them from browning. Season the slices evenly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Bread the Avocados: Dredge each avocado slice in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip into the lightly beaten egg, making sure each slice is coated. Finally, press slices into the panko bread crumbs thoroughly to ensure a crispy coating.
- Arrange on Tray: Place the breaded avocado slices in a single layer on the greased baking tray. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of oil evenly over the slices or spray with cooking spray to promote crispness while baking.
- Bake Until Crispy: Bake for 15 minutes or until the avocado fries turn golden and crispy. For extra crunch, you may drizzle additional oil halfway through baking if desired.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately with chipotle dipping sauce or your favorite dip such as ranch or ketchup.
Notes
- Using lime juice helps prevent avocado slices from browning but is optional.
- Panko bread crumbs provide extra crunch compared to regular bread crumbs.
- For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a plant-based egg replacer or aquafaba.
- These fries are best enjoyed fresh for optimal crispness.
- Additional seasoning like smoked paprika or cayenne pepper can be added to the breading for a spicy kick.
