Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Fries
- 1 large avocado (ripe but slightly firm)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (more as needed)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons plain unsweetened non-dairy milk
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- Oil spray
Dip
- Chipotle mayo (store-bought or homemade vegan chipotle mayo)
Instructions
- Cut avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the peel and pit, then slice each half into ¼-inch thick slices carefully to keep them intact for frying.
- Prep coatings: In a small shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Pour the non-dairy milk into a second bowl. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Coat avocado: Working with one avocado slice at a time, first coat it evenly with the flour mixture. Then dip the floured avocado slice into the non-dairy milk. Finally, coat it well with the panko breadcrumbs on both sides. Repeat for all slices, arranging them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Shray and bake: Lightly spray the coated avocado slices with oil spray. Place in the air fryer basket (no preheating required) and cook at 400°F for 12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Season with additional salt and pepper immediately after cooking.
- Serve: Serve hot avocado fries with chipotle mayo for dipping. Enjoy immediately for best crispiness.
Notes
- Keep one hand dry and one hand wet when coating avocado slices to make dredging easier and less messy.
- For oven baking, preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange coated avocado slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spray with oil, bake for 10 minutes, flip, spray again, and bake for another 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- This recipe pairs well with chipotle mayo or vegan Dijon aioli dips.
- Serve freshly cooked for best texture; avocado fries may lose crispiness if left sitting too long.
- Use ripe but slightly firm avocados to ensure slices hold shape during cooking.
