Versatile Avocado Fries

You’ll love the crispy crunchy exterior and creamy rich interior along with that hint of seasoned flavor found in these avocado fries. They are such a delicious appetizer, side dish, or with a few additions can be converted into a main dish. You can enjoy them on their own, serve with a dip, or use them in vegetarian tacos, breakfast tacos, tostadas, or salads. My favorite way to use them is the taco option. It’s a fun take on a classic and has such a nice variety of textures and crave-able flavors! Some may think a vegetarian taco can be boring but these are anything but! No one will miss the meat in the slightest. A delicious dish to learn how to make and a restaurant quality recipe you can enjoy at home! It’s one of those things you’ll soon have on repeat.

Can they be made in the air fryer?

Yes avocado fries also work well cooked in the air fryer!

To do so prepare and coat them as directed. Spray them with olive oil cooking spray. Cook on greased air fryer basket with the air fryer set at 375 for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Work in batches to prevent overcrowding as needed.

How long do they keep?

Avocados fries don’t keep for long. They are best eaten shortly after they are prepared for several reasons. The breading wont be crisp the next day and the avocados will brown in the fridge since they are sliced and exposed to air.

Helpful Tips

Use best tasting, good quality avocados. They will only taste as good as the avocado you begin with. The texture of the avocados is also key. They shouldn’t be soft and mushy but obviously not too firm or they aren’t ripe yet. Be sure to preheat oil to the proper temperature or the breading will soak up too much of it if it’s not hot enough. On the other hand monitor that it doesn’t get too hot or the breading will burn. Use a deep fry thermometer to watch and maintain the oil temperature. Be sure to bring oil back up to temp between batches. Serve shortly after preparing for best taste and texture.

Possible Variations

Make them spicy. Add cayenne pepper to the flour seasoning, or finish them with Mexican hot sauce. Try another dipping sauce of choice. Add other spices. Garlic powder, coriander, ancho or chipotle powder are all good options. Use the baking or frying option. Both are delicious, fried are just richer and a little crispier. To make them healthier opt to go with the baking option and use whole wheat panko bread crumbs. Serve as an appetizer or use as a main dish.
