Fries: Air Fryer Avocado

These Air Fryer Avocado Fries are addictively savory! Avocado wedges are dredge and coated in seasoned panko before being air fried until golden and crispy. Serve with a equally striking from-scratch southwest ranch for dipping! Yields 24 avocado fries and will serve 6.

If you haven’t had avocado fries before let this be a sign that you need to change that immediately.

Because they are excellent.

I first had avocado fries in 2016 at a blogging retreat in Utah. A bunch of us food bloggers went to an striking dinner with many courses and one of the appetizers was an artfully styled plate of avocado fries. If I recall, there were a few options for dipping but it was about 6 years ago and can’t say for certain. However, I’ve been thinking about them ever since.

Avocado fries are memorable! Soft, buttery interior with a pleasing crispy exterior and even more notable if dipped in southwest ranch!

To Make These Avocado Fries Gather:

• eggs – Acts as a sticky glue for the flour and breadcrumbs.
• unbleached all-purpose flour – Seals in the moisture when air frying.
• panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs) – Is the exterior coating, giving texture and flavor. Use kitchen-made or store-bought.
• garlic powder – Adds flavor that’s sweeter yet milder than fresh garlic.
• fine salt – Enhances the flavors of the breadcrumbs.
• paprika – Adds color and subtle flavor.
• avocados – Choose ripe, slightly firm and not overly soft avocados.
• southwest ranch – Great for dipping!

Crack two eggs into a shallow bowl.

Grab a whisk or fork and beat well until thoroughly combined.

In a separate bowl, measure and add 1/3 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour.

And lastly, in a third shallow bowl, measure and add 1 cup panko with 1/2 teaspoon both garlic powder and fine salt and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.

Cut 3 medium to small avocados into eighths and remove the skin and set up your breading station.

Workin in batches, dip a few avocados (on all sides) in the egg.

Then in the flour.

Coating on all sides.

Dip in the egg again.

Lastly, dipping in the seasoned bread crumbs.

Transfer to a large platter or a lined rimmed baking sheet and repeat with the remaining avocado wedges.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°.

Air fry for 3 to 4 minute or until golden and crispy. Repeat with remaining avocados.

How to Serve Avocado Fries:
