Avocado Fries
Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these Avocado Fries are oven-baked and packed with flavor. Paired with a zesty chipotle cream dipping sauce, they make the perfect snack, appetizer, or healthy alternative to traditional fries.
Ingredients
For the Avocados
2 ripe but firm medium avocados
1 large egg
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or granulated garlic)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
For the Chipotle Sauce
1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon canned chipotle in adobo sauce (or Mexican hot sauce)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (with salt)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Prep the Avocados
Halve, pit, and peel the avocados.
Cut each half into 4 wedges for a total of 16 slices.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg until foamy.
Step 3: Make the Breading Mixture
In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using).
Use the bottom of a measuring cup to crush the breadcrumbs slightly for better coating.
Step 4: Bread the Avocado Slices
Dip one slice at a time into the egg, letting excess drip off.
Then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even crust.
Place on the baking sheet, spaced apart.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 16 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with extra salt if desired.
Step 6: Make the Chipotle Cream Sauce
In a small bowl, mix sour cream (or yogurt), chipotle in adobo, chopped chives, Cajun seasoning, and salt.
If too thick, thin with a small splash of water. Chill until ready to serve.
Step 7: Serve
Serve warm avocado fries with the chipotle cream sauce on the side for dipping.
- Pro Tip
For extra crunch, spray the breaded avocado slices lightly with oil before baking. You can also use an air fryer at 400°F for 10–12 minutes.
