Ingredients
- 2 large avocados
- 1/2 lemon
- Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour whole wheat or oat flour works
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- Cooking oil spray
- parsley optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425F and line a large baking dish with parchment paper.
- Prepare your station: place the flour in a shallow dish, and whisk the eggs in a bowl. In a second dish, combine the breadcrumbs with seasonings.
- Cut the avocado into 1/2” thick wedges. Squeeze over fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest, salt and pepper, to taste. Gently coat each piece with the lemon juice, to prevent it from browning.
- Dredge the avocado wedges in flour, then dip into the beaten eggs.
- Transfer to the bread crumb mixture and completely coat on all sides.
- Place the coated avocado fries on the prepared baking sheet and spray with cooking oil spray.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until brown and crispy.

Notes
- Season with your favorite seasonings! Some that would taste amazing on these avocado fries are cajun or creole seasoning, chili powder, hot paprika, taco seasoning, and Old Bay seasoning.
- The easiest way to remove avocado from its peel is to slice it in half around its seed, and then take a large spoon and scoop the flesh out around the edges keeping it in one piece. You can also slice the avocado into "fries" before scooping the flesh out.
- Do not use avocados that are too ripe. They need to be firm to the touch.
- Allow the avocado fries to cool before eating them. They will be hot inside!
- You can serve these as an appetizer, side dish, snack, or (my favorite) as tacos in a tortilla topped with cheese, salsa, cilantro, and sour cream. They make the best tacos!
