Posted Aug 19, 2018, Updated May 23, 2024 The first time I had avocado fries was when my husband and I went out to dinner for an anniversary. They were so delicious I had to recreate them at home. This baked Avocado Fries recipe is so easy to make at home that I will never find myself jonesing for the restaurant version again! In this recipe the avocado is peeled, sliced, spiced, breaded and baked for a delicious appetizer ready in 25 minutes.
Baked Avocado Fries Recipe: Ingredients and Substitutions
Bread Crumbs. Both Panko bread crumbs and regular (pictured here) work great. I prefer the taste of the Panko, but the sturdy coating of the regular. Use gluten-free bread crumbs for gluten-free avocado fries.. You can also make your own by toasting bread and then processing it in the food processor. Flour. to make this recipe gluten-free use all-purpose gluten-free flour. Spices. I chose to keep this recipe simple (like a blank canvas, if you will) and only added garlic powder. However they are also amazing when other spices are added, suggestions include cumin, paprika, chili powder, Italian seasoning and onion powder!
How to Make Avocado Fries
I had raging success every time I tested this recipe, and I want you to too! So I made sure to take step-by-step photos of the process and we are going to walk through it together!
Cut Avocados
I tested a few different ways to cut the avocados to make perfect avocado fries…so here are my tips for the best results.
Assemble the Avocado Fries
Begin by coating the avocado slices with flour, which gives the egg wash something to stick to, and then the bread crumb coating sticks to the egg wash. Shake to coat. Put the flour and avocado slices into a plastic bag and gently shake to coat. Next, coat the floured avocado slices in egg wash individually. Use a bowl that is large enough to fit the entire avocado slice without it breaking or bending. I recommend putting the slices in the bowl, letting them sit for 10-15 seconds and then flipping them over. Have a designated “egg hand.” I also recommend using one hand for egg-dipping, and another hand for bread crumb coating. This will ensure you keep one hand dry to toss the breadcrumbs onto the avocado fries. I also recommend keeping a paper towel close by to use to wipe off your messy fingers. Before dipping in egg, combine the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl. Then, after you dip each slice of avocado in egg wash, dip it into the seasoned breadcrumbs and coat both sides. Once the avocado fries are coated and placed on the well-oiled baking sheet, spray the top with cooking spray, or another oil spray. I also like to finish them off by sprinkling a little extra sea salt on top of the cooking spray for a little extra flavor.
Bake
Bake the avocado fries for 8 minutes on the first side, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown. After 8 minutes flip the avocado fries over and bake on the second side for about 5 minutes or until they reach your desired color and doneness.
Serve
Once baked, remove the avocado fries from the oven and serve immediately. You can dip them in your favorite sauces, serve on a salad, in a veggie wrap, etc. Here are some suggestions.
Your favorite salad dressing. homemade ranch dressing, cilantro avocado dressing, etc. We love dipping them in homemade marinara sauce. Salsa. Give these avocado fries a Mexican flare and dip them in your favorite salsa. Guacamole is another great dipping idea! Especially our easy homemade guacamole! French onion dip. These baked avocado fries go really well with a sour cream based dip! Honey Mustard sauce. Ketchup or BBQ sauce. My kids preferred dip of choice for sure! Aioli. If you have a recipe for a delicious aioli sauce, that would be absolute perfection with this recipe. Cheese sauce. dipping these in homemade cheese sauce is next level delicious.
Store/Freeze
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven set to 300 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through.
