Crunchy Avocado Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°. In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons ground flax and 1 teaspoon mild chili powder. In another bowl, whisk 1 egg. Cut 2 peeled avocados into 16 wedges, dip wedges in egg, press into breadcrumb mixture and transfer to a baking sheet. Coat with vegetable oil cooking spray. Bake until outside is crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and drizzle with hot sauce.

Steps:

• If not serving avocado fries immediately, preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Place flour in a wide, shallow bowl and panko in another wide, shallow bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and water.
• In a deep, medium saucepan, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees F, or until a few panko bits bubble vigorously when added.
• Meanwhile, halve avocados lengthwise, remove pit, and slice each half into 4 wedges. Peel away skin, and coat each slice, one by one, in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg wash, then panko, gently pressing breadcrumbs on sides to coat. Place avocados on large cutting board or plate.
• When oil is hot, fry 3 to 4 avocado slices at a time until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Gently transfer with tongs to paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle generously with salt. Place baking sheet in oven to keep warm, or serve immediately with lemon slices and salsa or other condiments, if desired. Repeat with remaining avocado slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour and ranch mix in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs in another shallow dish. Stir together the panko, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a third shallow dish.
• Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Cut each half in half again and remove the peel. Cut the quarters into thirds. (Each avocado will have 12 slices.)
• Working one at a time, dredge the avocado slices in the flour mixture, followed by the eggs and then the panko. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Coat the avocado slices with cooking spray and bake, turning halfway through and coating with more cooking spray, until golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, lime zest, lime juice and cilantro in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the sauce with the avocado fries.
