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
- Chipotle dipping sauce (prepared or store-bought)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a sheet tray or baking dish by pouring 1 tablespoon of oil onto it, spreading evenly to grease the surface.
- Prepare Avocado Slices Slice the avocados and optionally squeeze fresh lime juice over them to prevent browning. Season the slices with salt and pepper to taste.
- Coat the Avocado Dredge each avocado slice in flour first, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko bread crumbs, ensuring an even and complete coverage for optimal crispness.
- Arrange on Baking Tray Place the coated avocado slices in a single layer on the greased sheet tray. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over them, or lightly spray with cooking spray to aid in crisping during baking.
- Bake Until Crisp Bake the avocado fries at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, or until they turn golden and crispy. For extra crispness, you may drizzle additional oil halfway through baking if desired.
- Serve Remove the fries from the oven and serve warm alongside chipotle dipping sauce, ranch, ketchup, or your preferred dip for a flavorful accompaniment.
Notes
- Using lime juice on avocado slices helps maintain their color but is optional.
- Ensure avocado slices are fully coated in panko for maximum crunchiness.
- You can swap panko bread crumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
- For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg and use vegan breadcrumbs.
- Drizzling extra oil during baking improves the crispiness of the fries.
