Ingredients

  • 2 large avocados
  • 1/2 lemon
  • kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour whole wheat or oat flour works
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • cooking oil spray
  • parsley optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425F and line a large baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Prepare your station: place the flour in a shallow dish, and whisk the eggs in a bowl. In a second dish, combine the breadcrumbs with seasonings.
  • Cut the avocado into 1/2” thick wedges. Squeeze over fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest, salt and pepper, to taste. Gently coat each piece with the lemon juice, to prevent it from browning.
  • Dredge the avocado wedges in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs.
  • Transfer to the bread crumb mixture and completely coat on all sides.
  • Place the coated avocado fries on the prepared baking sheet and spray with cooking oil spray.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Season with your favorite seasonings! Some that would taste amazing on these avocado fries are cajun or creole seasoning, chili powder, hot paprika, taco seasoning, and Old Bay seasoning.
  • The easiest way to remove avocado from its peel is to slice it in half around its seed, and then take a large spoon and scoop the flesh out around the edges keeping it in one piece. You can also slice the avocado into "fries" before scooping the flesh out.
  • Do not use avocados that are too ripe. They need to be firm to the touch.
  • Allow the avocado fries to cool before eating them. They will be hot inside!
  • You can serve these as an appetizer, side dish, snack, or (my favorite) as tacos in a tortilla topped with cheese, salsa, cilantro, and sour cream. They make the best tacos!
