Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced into wedges
- 1 cup (240 milliliters / 8 fluid ounces) breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters / 4 fluid ounces) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
Serving Accompaniments:
- Lime wedges
- Ranch dressing
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure optimal cooking temperature while preparing the avocado slices.
- Create a three-stage coating system using separate dishes: one with flour, another with whisked eggs, and the third with seasoned breadcrumbs mixed with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Transform each avocado wedge into a crispy delight by first dusting with flour, then dunking in beaten eggs, and finally rolling thoroughly in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture to achieve complete coverage.
- Carefully position the breaded avocado fries in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other to promote even crisping.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes at 400°F, rotating the fries midway through the cooking process to guarantee uniform golden-brown exterior and maintain a creamy interior.
- Once the avocado fries achieve a gorgeous crisp texture and appetizing golden color, immediately transfer them from the air fryer to a serving plate.
- Enhance the experience by accompanying the hot, crunchy avocado fries with zesty lime wedges or a cool ranch dressing for dipping, serving them while they’re still piping hot and perfectly crisp.
Notes
- Prevent browning by using super-fresh, slightly firm avocados to maintain structural integrity during cooking.
- Choose panko breadcrumbs for extra crunchiness and lighter texture compared to traditional breadcrumbs.
- Experiment with alternative coatings like crushed nuts or gluten-free breadcrumbs for dietary modifications.
- Pat avocado slices completely dry before breading to ensure maximum crispiness and better breading adherence.
