- ½ teaspoon salt

👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Avocados
Cut the avocados in half. Remove the seed carefully. Peel off the skin gently. Slice each half into thick wedges.
Tip: Make sure the avocados are firm. If they are too soft, they may break while coating.
Step 2: Set Up Coating Stations
Take three bowls:
- Bowl 1: Add flour, salt, pepper.
- Bowl 2: Beat the eggs.
- Bowl 3: Mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and paprika.
This simple breading method helps create crispy avocado fries.
Step 3: Coat the Avocado Slices
First, dip each avocado slice in flour.
Second, dip it into the beaten eggs.
Finally, coat it well in breadcrumbs.
Press gently so the crumbs stick nicely.
Step 4: Bake Until Crispy
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the coated slices on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spray lightly with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Flip them halfway for even crispiness.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Let them cool for 5 minutes. Serve with your favorite dip.
Trust me, they taste best when warm and fresh.
🌟 Pro Tips & Variations
✔ Choose the Right Avocados
Use firm ripe avocados. Too soft ones will turn mushy.
✔ Make Them Extra Crispy
Use panko breadcrumbs instead of normal breadcrumbs. They give better crunch.
✔ Air Fryer Option
You can also cook Avocado Fries in an air fryer at 400°F for 8–10 minutes.
✔ Make Them Spicy
Add chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
✔ Gluten-Free Version
Use gluten-free flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs.
❌ Avoid These Mistakes
- Do not skip the flour layer. It helps the coating stick.
- Do not overcrowd the baking tray.
- Do not overbake, or the avocado may turn bitter.
🥗 Health Benefits of Avocado Fries
Avocados are full of healthy fats, especially monounsaturated fats. These fats are good for heart health.
They also contain:
- Fiber (good for digestion)
- Potassium (helps control blood pressure)
- Vitamin E (great for skin)
- Vitamin K (supports bone health)
Unlike deep-fried snacks, baked Avocado Fries are lighter and lower in unhealthy fats. If you are following a keto diet, low-carb diet, or trying to eat clean, this recipe fits perfectly into your lifestyle.
I personally love making them when I want something crispy but do not want junk food.
