If you have been following my blog for sometime now you probably have figured out I LOVE avocados. So when they were 4 for $5 at the market I had to buy them. I thought I had tried everything I could think of using an avocado… Guacamole, Avocado Egg Salad, Avocado Grilled Cheese, and simply dicing them up and putting them in just about anything. Then I realized I have never made avocado fries! WHAAAAT?
Avocado fries are super easy to make and when the avocado is warm it gives it this wonderful creamy buttery taste. Amazing!
I squeezed fresh lemon on them before serving, but I am sure your favorite dip would taste great.
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados, sliced
- 1/3 cup flour
- Salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
Directions
- Preheat to 425 degrees.
- In 3 bowls set up an assembly line. One bowl with flour, salt, pepper, and chili powder combined. Second bowl with beaten egg, and the third bowl with panko bread crumbs.
- Place sliced avocado in flour mixture and lightly coat. Next dip in egg to coat and then panko. (Note, your hands will be a mess).
- Place avocado slices on a wire rack on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and squeeze fresh lemon over crispy avocado fries.
Enjoy!
I am also a big fan of avocado. This is a very good idea of cooking it! Thanks for sharing.
OH my goodness…these look so simple and delicious! I LOVE avocado. Definitely making these tonight!
LOOK YUMMY
how can i change it if i am vegan? as in what would be a good egg replacement ?
I have not tried it, but maybe a chia seed egg replacer recipe…
Maybe you can use a little bit of canola oil to coat your veggies first
Great idea Cheryl 🙂
Try coconut milk instead!
Instead of Avacado’s you can also use zucchini or asparagas to make the same fries,
but I would use garlic powder and or Romano/parmesan cheese in place of the chili
powder.
Sounds YUMMY!
Do the avacados need to be fully ripe?
Amber, they work best when they are slightly soft, but not too soft as when they are over ripe.
Looks SO good! I have a quick question. I put avocados on pizza once and baked it and they came out super bitter. Will the same thing happen with these?
Nope! After baking they were nice and creamy.
This sounds and looks absolutely delicious, and I’d like to add that this can easily be made vegan (so no hens need be harmed) by substituting any number of homemade and/or manufactured egg substitutes
I love avocados! And I’m definitely doing this recipe. Thank you!
These are delicious!! I am hooked and am baking a batch of avocados and zucchini fries right now.
omg this looks amazing. I want to try this can you give me a suggestion on what i can substitute the egg with. I am a vegan, i was thinking about almond milk to make it stick but then again it might make it to soggy
I’m not sure what a good substitute would be. Funny I was thinking almond milk right before I read your comment. Let me know if you try it and if it works.
Mine turned out awful. 🙁
I don’t know what I did. I used a gluten free flour and did everything the recipe said. Then when I tasted it, it was so plain, even with salt on it. It had this weird taste to it, I can’t even explain. Could it have been the flour I used? Or something else?
Sorry yours turned out awful 🙁 Not sure what happened.
It’s yummy..thnx a lot for sharing
The best post.
Thanks for share this article.
I look forward to your new article
