What makes this recipe so special is the contrast in textures: the creamy avocado center melts in your mouth, while the crispy exterior adds that irresistible crunch. They’re perfect for parties, quick snacks, or even as a creative side to burgers and tacos.

Fun fact: Avocados were once called “alligator pears” for their rough green skin and shape. Today, they’ve evolved into one of the most loved ingredients worldwide—especially when transformed into these crispy fries.

Recipe Yield: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 large ripe Avocados, sliced into thick wedges
½ cup All-purpose flour
2 Eggs, beaten
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp Garlic powder
½ tsp Smoked paprika
¼ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Black pepper
Olive oil spray

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prep and preheat:
Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Line a tray with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.

2. Prepare coating stations:
Place flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another, and in a third bowl mix panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Coat avocado slices:
Gently dredge each avocado wedge in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into beaten eggs, then press into breadcrumb mixture until well-coated.

4. Arrange and spray:
Place coated avocado fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil for a crisp golden crust.

5. Air fry until golden:
Cook for 7–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fries are golden brown and crispy. Adjust time slightly depending on air fryer model.

6. Serve immediately:
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce—try spicy mayo, ranch, or garlic aioli for a perfect pairing.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Use Just-Ripe Avocados: Avoid overly soft avocados—they’ll break during coating. Choose ones that yield slightly when pressed.
• Double-Coat for Extra Crunch: For a thicker crust, dip the avocado slices in egg and breadcrumbs twice before air frying.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Basket: Air circulation is key. Cook in batches to ensure even crisping on all sides.
