Exact Ingredients (+ Possible Substitutes)
Here’s what you’ll need to make crispy baked avocado fries:
• 2 large ripe avocados
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works great)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
Can’t find some ingredients? No worries! Try these swaps:
• Use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free option.
• Swap eggs for plant-based milk to make it vegan.
• Crushed cornflakes or crushed pork rinds can replace breadcrumbs.
Want to spice things up? Add these optional extras:
• 1 tsp Tajin seasoning for a zesty kick
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese mixed with the breadcrumbs
Remember to preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) before you start. You’ll also need a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice 2 ripe avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pits and peel off the skin. Cut each half into 4-6 wedges.
Set up three shallow dishes:
- Mix flour with salt and pepper
- Beat 2 eggs
- Combine breadcrumbs with your favorite seasonings
Dip each avocado wedge in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Make sure they’re fully coated.
Place coated wedges on the baking sheet. Spray them lightly with cooking oil for extra crispiness.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. They’re done when golden brown and crispy.
Let the fries cool for a few minutes before serving. They’ll be hot!
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch, salsa, or garlic aioli work great.
Enjoy your crispy baked avocado fries while they’re warm and crunchy!
Tips, Tricks & Storing
Choose firm but ripe avocados for the best results. They should yield slightly when gently squeezed.
Cut your avocado slices evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate. Aim for strips about 1/2 inch thick.
Pat the avocado slices dry before coating them. This helps the breading stick better.
Use one hand for dry ingredients and one for wet to avoid clumpy fingers during the breading process.
For extra crunch, try double-coating your avocado fries. Dip them in the egg mixture and breadcrumbs twice.
Spray your fries lightly with oil before baking for a golden, crispy exterior.
Serve your avocado fries right away for the best texture. They’re tastiest when hot and crispy!
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
To reheat, pop them in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 5 minutes. This will help restore some crispiness.
Avoid microwaving leftover avocado fries, as this can make them soggy.
Try dipping your fries in different sauces like chipotle ranch, sriracha mayo, or garlic aioli for extra flavor.
