- 2 ripe avocados, sliced into wedges - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 2 large eggs, beaten - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper - Dipping sauces: sriracha mayo, lime aioli, yogurt dip - Garnishes: fresh cilantro, lime wedges To make these tasty avocado fries, you need ripe avocados. Look for ones that yield slightly when you press them. Panko breadcrumbs add a great crunch. All-purpose flour helps the batter stick, while eggs bind everything together. Seasoning is key. Garlic powder and smoked paprika give a nice flavor kick. Salt and pepper round it out. For serving, you can keep it simple or get fancy. Sriracha mayo adds a spicy touch, while lime aioli is fresh and zesty. A yogurt dip cools it down. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for a bright finish. These ingredients combine to create a fun snack that is both crispy and creamy! To start, take your ripe avocados and cut them in half. Use a spoon or knife to remove the pit carefully. Make sure not to cut yourself! Next, scoop the flesh out gently to avoid bruising it. Slice each half into wedges, aiming for even pieces. This helps them cook evenly. Next, set up your breading station. Grab three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour. In the second, beat two large eggs. In the third bowl, mix 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs with 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Using three bowls keeps things organized and makes breading easy. Now it's time to coat the avocado wedges. Take one wedge and dredge it in the flour first. Shake off any extra flour. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs and let any extra egg drip off. Finally, coat the wedge with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture. Make sure it’s covered well. Place the coated wedge on a clean plate and repeat this for all the wedges. Before cooking, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This should take about 5 minutes. Preheating is key. It helps the fries become crispy and golden brown. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the breaded avocado wedges in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd them, as this can lead to soggy fries. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crunch. Air fry the wedges for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should be golden brown when done. After air frying, let the crispy avocado fries cool for a few minutes. Arrange them on a serving platter. Serve with tasty dips like sriracha mayo or lime aioli. For a nice touch, add fresh cilantro leaves and lime wedges as garnishes. Enjoy your snack! To make your avocado fries super crispy, use cooking spray or olive oil spray. These sprays help crisp the outside without much added fat. If you have a different air fryer brand, check your model's settings. Some may cook faster or slower, so keep an eye on the fries. If your fries turn out soggy, check if they were overcrowded in the basket. Overcrowding keeps the hot air from moving freely. Try frying them in smaller batches next time. If your fries are burnt, lower the cooking time by a minute or two. Always flip them halfway through cooking for even browning. Want to kick up the flavor? Add spices like cayenne for heat or cumin for depth. You can also swap panko breadcrumbs for crushed cornflakes for a new texture. This change gives a great crunch while adding a hint of sweetness. Experiment and find what you love! {{image_4}} You can make a few simple swaps for a healthier snack. Try using gluten-free breadcrumbs. They provide the same crunch without gluten. This option works for anyone with gluten sensitivities. Another great choice is to replace eggs with vegan substitutes. You can use a mixture of flaxseed and water. This mix binds the coating well. You can also try unsweetened applesauce. Both options work well and keep the fries tasty. Want to spice things up? Add cayenne or chili powder to your breadcrumb mix. This twist gives your avocado fries a nice kick. Adjust the amount based on your heat level preference. You can also add cheese for a savory crust. Grated parmesan works well, or you can use nutritional yeast for a vegan choice. Both options add rich flavor and make the fries even more delicious. There are many fun ways to serve your avocado fries. Try adding them on top of a fresh salad. They add great taste and a fun crunch. You can also incorporate them into wraps or sandwiches. The creamy avocado pairs nicely with meats or veggies. This makes a quick and filling meal. Enjoy experimenting with these options to find your favorite way to serve avocado fries! To keep your crispy avocado fries fresh, store them in the fridge. Place them in an airtight container. This helps keep the fries crunchy. Make sure to let them cool before sealing the container. If you stack them, use parchment paper to separate layers. The best way to reheat your fries is in the air fryer. Set it to 350°F (175°C) and heat for about 5 minutes. This keeps them crispy. You can also use an oven. Preheat to 350°F and bake for 10-15 minutes. The microwave is not ideal as it can make them soggy. You can freeze both uncooked and cooked avocado fries. To freeze uncooked fries, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. For cooked fries, let them cool and follow the same steps. When ready to use, thaw them in the fridge overnight. Cook uncooked fries straight from the freezer; just add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time. Using unripe avocados is not ideal for this recipe. Unripe avocados are hard and lack the creamy texture we want. When you make avocado fries, the ripe ones give a smooth and rich taste. Ripe avocados are soft enough to slice and coat. They will crisp up nicely in the air fryer. Look for a golden-brown color on the outside. The fries should feel crispy and firm to the touch. You can also check the texture by gently squeezing one. If it feels soft inside and crispy outside, it’s done! They usually take about 8-10 minutes to cook. Yes, you can! Just swap out all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour. Use gluten-free breadcrumbs instead of panko. Both substitutes will keep the taste and texture yummy. This way, everyone can enjoy crispy avocado fries. Many sauces go great with avocado fries. Here are a few easy options: - Sriracha mayo: Mix mayo with sriracha for a spicy kick. - Lime aioli: Blend mayo, lime juice, and garlic for a fresh taste. - Cool yogurt dip: Mix yogurt with herbs and a squeeze of lemon. These sauces add flavor and fun to your snack! Avocado fries last about 2-3 days in the fridge. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. If you notice any browning, that's normal but use them quickly for the best taste. Reheat them in the air fryer to bring back some crispiness!

Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, sliced into wedges

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions
 

Prep the Avocados: Begin by carefully cutting the avocados in half. Remove the pit using a spoon or knife (take care!). Scoop out the flesh gently to avoid bruising, then slice each half into wedges. Aim for even-sized pieces for uniform cooking.

    Set Up Breading Station: Prepare three shallow bowls to set up a breading station: add the flour to the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and mix the panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

      Coat the Avocado Wedges: Take one avocado wedge and start the coating process by dredging it in the flour. Shake off any excess flour. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any extra egg drip off. Finally, coat the wedge thoroughly with the seasoned breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated wedge on a clean plate. Repeat this process for all the avocado wedges.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures the fries cook evenly and become crisp.

          Air Fry the Wedges: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Gently arrange the breaded avocado wedges in a single layer in the basket, taking care not to overcrowd (you may need to fry them in batches). Lightly spray the tops of the wedges with cooking spray for an extra crispy finish.

            Cook: Air fry the avocado fries for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. You'll know they're ready when they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.

              Serve: Carefully remove the crispy avocado fries from the air fryer and allow them to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

                - Präsentationstipps: Arrange the crispy avocado fries on a serving platter and accompany them with a zesty dipping sauce like sriracha mayo, lime aioli, or a cool yogurt dip. For an appealing visual, garnish the plate with fresh cilantro leaves and wedges of lime.
