Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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 Avocados: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the avocado slices to add flavor and prevent browning.
- Make Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, kosher salt, and coarse ground black pepper for the coating mixture.
- Coat Avocado Wedges: Dredge each avocado slice first in flour, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat with panko bread crumbs to create a crispy exterior.
- Arrange and Spray: Place the coated avocado wedges on a baking sheet and spray them evenly with vegetable oil spray to help achieve a golden crisp.
- Bake First Side: Bake the avocado fries in the oven for 10 minutes until the coating is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Bake Second Side: Flip the fries over, spray again with vegetable oil spray, and bake for an additional 5 minutes to crisp the other side.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados to ensure the slices hold their shape during baking.
- If you prefer extra crispiness, you can double coat the avocado wedges by dipping them again in egg wash and panko.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, accompanied by a dipping sauce like chipotle mayo or ranch dressing.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute panko and flour with gluten-free alternatives.
