Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Fries
- 1 large avocado (ripe but slightly firm)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (more as needed)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk (plain, unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Oil spray
For Serving
- Vegan chipotle mayo (quantity as desired for dipping)
Instructions
- Cut avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the peel and pit completely, then slice the avocado halves into 1/4-inch thick slices carefully to keep the slices intact for coating.
- Prep coatings: In a small shallow bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour non-dairy milk into a second small bowl. Place panko breadcrumbs into a third small bowl.
- Coat avocado slices: Working one slice at a time, use one hand to dredge each avocado slice in the flour mixture ensuring even coverage, then dip into the non-dairy milk. Immediately transfer the slice to the panko breadcrumbs and coat both sides thoroughly. Arrange the coated slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Spray and air fry: Lightly spray the coated avocado slices with oil spray to help achieve a golden crisp finish. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes without preheating, until they turn golden brown and crispy. Season lightly with additional salt and pepper while hot.
- Serve: Serve the crispy avocado fries immediately with vegan chipotle mayo for dipping to enjoy their best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Coating tip: Use one hand for dry ingredients and the other for wet ingredients to avoid clumping and keep coatings even.
- Oven method: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange coated avocado slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spray with oil, and bake for 10 minutes. Flip, spray again, and bake for another 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Serving suggestions: These avocado fries are delicious with chipotle mayo, vegan dijon aioli, or as a crispy topping for bowls, tacos, or wraps. Best served fresh for maximum crispness.
