Air Fryer Avocado Fries

We need to talk about avocado fries. Yes, you read that right. These crispy, golden-green delights are about to become your new obsession. We love avocados in our guac and toast, why not fry them up?

Last weekend, we decided to toss avocado slices in the air fryer. It was a game-changer! They came out crispy on the outside and creamy inside. Perfect for dipping in your favorite sauce.

You’re going to want these fries at every meal, trust us. They’re easy, delicious, and surprisingly quick to make. Plus, they look pretty fancy, so you can impress your friends without breaking a sweat. Let’s get frying!

Ingredients for Air Fryer Avocado Fries

Alright, here’s what you need to make these bad boys:

  • Avocados: 2 ripe but firm avocados (you don’t want them too mushy)
  • Flour: 1/2 cup for that initial coating
  • Eggs: 2, beaten (these will help the breadcrumbs stick)
  • Breadcrumbs: 1 cup (panko works best for extra crunch)
  • Seasonings: A pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Oil spray: To help with the crisping process.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Avocado Fries

For avocado fries that will have people begging for the recipe, keep these tips in mind:

  • Firmness is key: Make sure your avocados are just ripe but still firm, for easy slicing and better frying.
  • Double coating: For an extra crispy crust, dip the avocado slices in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs twice.
  • Don’t overcrowd: Give the avocado slices some space in the air fryer basket. They’ll cook more evenly and get crispier.

Variations and Substitutions

Want to mix things up a bit? Here are some ideas:

  • Change up the breadcrumbs: Try crushed cornflakes or even coconut flakes for a different texture.
  • Spice it up: Add cayenne pepper or chili powder to the flour for a spicy kick.
  • Go gluten-free: Use almond flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
