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
Chipotle Dipping Sauce
- Use your preferred chipotle dipping sauce or refer to the linked recipe for homemade sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil into a sheet tray or baking dish and set aside to grease the pan.
- Prepare Avocados: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the avocado slices to prevent browning, then season with salt and pepper according to taste.
- Coat Avocados: Dredge each avocado slice first in flour, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko bread crumbs, ensuring each slice is well covered.
- Arrange and Oil: Place the coated avocado slices in a single layer on the greased sheet pan. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over the slices, or alternatively spray them with cooking spray to help achieve crispiness.
- Bake: Bake the avocado fries for 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. For extra crispness, you may drizzle additional oil over them halfway through baking.
- Serve: Serve the crispy avocado fries warm with chipotle dipping sauce, ranch, ketchup, or your favorite dip.
Notes
- Using lime juice is optional but helps keep the avocado slices from browning during baking.
- Make sure to coat the avocado slices well with panko crumbs for maximum crispiness.
- You can substitute panko bread crumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs to make the recipe gluten-free.
- This recipe makes a great snack or side dish rich in healthy fats and fiber.
- If you want extra crispy fries, consider using a cooking spray in addition to drizzling oil.
