Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
Coating and Seasoning:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Cooking Ingredient:
- Cooking spray (or olive oil spray)
Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Sriracha sauce to taste
Instructions
- Slice ripe avocados lengthwise, carefully removing the pit. Using a spoon, extract the flesh and cut into uniform wedge-shaped fries, maintaining structural integrity.
- Create a three-stage breading configuration: first plate with flour, second bowl with whisked eggs, third plate combining panko breadcrumbs with seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each avocado wedge systematically – first dust with flour, ensuring complete coverage. Dip into beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Roll thoroughly in seasoned panko mixture, pressing gently to secure breadcrumb adherence.
- Activate air fryer and heat to 400°F for approximately 5 minutes, preparing for optimal crispy transformation.
- Lightly mist air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange breaded wedges in a single layer without overcrowding, ensuring minimal contact between pieces.
- Spritz avocado fries’ surface with additional cooking spray. Cook for 8-10 minutes, midway rotating basket to guarantee uniform golden-brown coloration and consistent crispiness.
- Remove immediately when achieving desired golden-brown exterior. Serve piping hot, optionally accompanied by Sriracha mayonnaise for enhanced flavor complexity.
Notes
- Choose ripe but firm avocados to prevent mushy fries that fall apart during cooking.
- Chill breaded avocado wedges for 15 minutes before air frying to help coating stick better and create crispier exterior.
- Experiment with alternative coatings like almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumbs for dietary restrictions.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure each avocado fry gets crispy and golden brown on all sides.
