Crispy Baked Avocado Fries & Chipotle Dipping Sauce
Description
The recipe begins by slicing large avocados, optionally treating the slices with fresh lime juice to preserve color and add brightness. The avocado slices are seasoned with salt and pepper, then coated in a three-step breading process: dredged in flour, dipped in beaten egg, and thoroughly coated with panko breadcrumbs. This coating ensures a crunchy outer layer when baked.
Baked at 400°F on a greased sheet pan with oil added to encourage crispness, the avocado fries take about 15 minutes to develop a golden, crispy crust. The creamy texture of the ripe avocado contrasts with the crunchy panko exterior. Serving suggestions include a smoky chipotle sauce for dipping, which provides a flavorful accompaniment, though other dips like ranch or ketchup can also be used.
The recipe notes mention the fries keep well in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and can be reheated effectively in a toaster oven, maintaining their texture for a convenient snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 2 avocado sliced, large
- lime optional, juice of 1/2 lime
- salt
- black pepper
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- chipotle dipping sauce
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 Degrees F. 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 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 my chipotle dipping sauce (get the recipe here) or with ranch, ketchup, or your favorite dip!
Notes
- Store leftover avocado fries in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours for later use.
- Reheat the fries in a toaster oven to retain their crispiness without sogginess.
