Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Fries
- 2 large avocados, sliced into 1/2” 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 slices: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the avocado slices to add flavor and prevent browning.
- Make egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Coat avocado slices: Dredge each avocado slice first in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with panko bread crumbs to ensure a crispy crust.
- Arrange and spray: Place the coated avocado slices on a baking sheet and spray them evenly with vegetable oil spray to aid in browning and crispiness.
- Bake first side: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until the fries start turning golden brown.
- Flip and finish baking: Flip the avocado fries, spray again with vegetable oil spray, and bake for an additional 5 minutes until crispy and golden on both sides.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, make sure panko crumbs fully cover the avocado slices.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- You can use gluten-free flour and bread crumbs to make this recipe gluten free.
- Lime juice prevents avocado browning and adds a fresh tangy flavor.
- Keep an eye on the fries in the oven to avoid burning since ovens vary.
