Forget About Chips! These Baked Avocado Fries Are SO Good You Will Forget About Potatoes

Trine Jensen-Burke

OK, , so the world has been going ga-ga for avocados for some time now, but we bet you haven’t eaten them like this before. 

You know how everyone loves crispy fries? And, now, we all love the delicious creaminess of avocados too? Well, it turns out that combining the two is actually even better.

Sceptical? You need to try these for yourself:

Ingredients

  • 2 large avocados, sliced
  • Juice of ½ lime (optional)
  • Salt & Pepper
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 220 degrees C. Pour 1 tablespoon oil in sheet tray or baking dish; set aside.

Squeeze fresh lime juice on avocado slices to preserve their color while baking (this step is optional). Season with salt, pepper. Dredge in flour then dip in egg and coat in panko breadcrumbs. Be sure the avocado slices are coated very well in the panko.

Place in a single layer on the greased sheet pan. Drizzle with the remaining oil or spray with cooking spray. This will help the avocado slices crisp in the oven.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the avocados are golden and crispy. If desired, more oil can be drizzle while they are baking for additional crispness.

Serve with chipotle dipping sauce, ranch dressing, ketchup, or your very own favorite dip!
