Total Time:25 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
Avocado Fries
2 ripe avocados, sliced into wedges
1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Dipping Sauce (Optional)
Lime wedges or ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Prepare Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat Avocado Slices: Dip each avocado wedge first into the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the coated avocado wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary for best results.
Air Fry: Cook the avocado fries for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
Serve: Remove the fries from the air fryer and serve immediately with lime wedges or ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid mushy fries.
Panko breadcrumbs provide extra crunch compared to regular breadcrumbs.
Make sure to flip the fries halfway to get an even crisp.
For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
Serve immediately for best texture, as avocado fries can soften if left out.
