Air Fryer Avocado Fries
Description
This recipe starts with ripe avocados peeled and sliced before breading through a three-step process: seasoned flour mixed with chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, and salt; followed by an egg wash; and finally a coating of panko breadcrumbs pressed for even coverage. The avocado slices are air fried at 390°F, sprayed with avocado oil to promote crispiness, and cooked for about 7 minutes, flipping halfway through. This method yields fries with a crunchy outer layer enveloping a soft, buttery avocado center.
The use of chili powder and paprika adds a mild smoky and spicy note to the breading, complementing the subtle richness of the avocado. These fries work well as snacks or appetizers and pair nicely with dipping sauces such as buffalo ranch, chipotle aioli, or simple ranch dressing. The air fryer allows for a lighter version compared to deep frying while retaining crisp texture.
The avocado fries can also be baked in a conventional oven at 425°F for 15 minutes, flipping halfway, if an air fryer is unavailable. Best results come from using ripe but firm avocados and removing the skin carefully before slicing. Preheating the air fryer ensures even cooking and better crispiness.
Ingredients
- 3 avocado peeled and sliced (see note #1
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup flour of choice
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder dark
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika hot
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Avocado oil spray
- Serve with: dip of choice (see note #2)
Instructions
- In a small dish add the flour, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Stir to combine. In another small dish add the egg and beat until frothy. In another dish add the panko breadcrumbs.
- In an assembly line manner, roll the first avocado slice in the flour (give it a light tap to remove excess flour), then submerge it in the egg wash, followed by the panko bread crumbs. I gently push the panko into the avocado to ensure its evenly coated. Repeat with all of the avocado slices.
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with avocado spray, then place the avocado fries with some space in between, then lightly spray the fries with some avocado oil. Air fry on 390F for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until desired crispiness. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, will depend on how many batches you have to do. [See note # 3 for oven instructions].
Notes
- Peel avocados by cutting in half, removing the seed, then carefully sliding thumb between skin and flesh before slicing.
- Recommended dipping sauces include buffalo ranch, plain ranch, chipotle aioli, or hot sauce.
- Preheat air fryer to 390°F; cook fries until golden brown and crispy, adjusting time based on fryer type.
- Oven baking alternative: bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, flipping once, for a crispy finish without air frying.
