Avocado Fries Recipe
Firm-ripe avocado wedges get coated in flour, beaten egg, and spiced panko, then drizzled with olive oil and baked at 425°F for 12 to 14 minutes until golden and crisp with a creamy, buttery center.
Equipment
- Baking Sheets
- Instant Pot Omni Plus Air Fryer
Ingredients
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2 large avocados ripe but firm
- Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
- Chipotle Ranch or desired dipping sauce
Instructions
- Set the oven to 425°F and cover a baking sheet with parchment. The parchment provides a lined surface for the delicate breaded wedges.
- Combine the panko with the coriander, cumin, and sea salt in a medium shallow dish, then put the flour and beaten eggs into separate small bowls. Mix the crumbs until the spices look evenly distributed, so the coating tastes consistent.
- Slice the avocados lengthwise into 8 slices, remove the skins, and coat each slice in flour, shaking away the excess before covering it with egg and then seasoned panko. A light flour dusting beneath an even egg coating helps the coarse crumbs attach without a heavy paste.
- Arrange the coated wedges on the prepared sheet, drizzle them with olive oil, and bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Look for golden-brown crumbs and a crisp exterior before taking the tray out.
Notes
Ingredient tip: Pick avocados that give slightly to gentle pressure near the stem without feeling squishy so the wedges hold a clean edge when sliced.
Texture tip: Gently blot any visibly wet avocado slices, shake off excess flour until only a thin dusting remains, and use one hand for egg and the other for dry coatings so the breading stays attached.
Air fryer option: Arrange the breaded, oiled wedges in a single layer at 390°F and cook for roughly 7 to 13 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
Storage and reheating: Refrigerate leftovers promptly in an airtight container with dipping sauce stored separately, then reheat the portion you need in an oven or air fryer while checking frequently for renewed crunch.
