    Have you ever had avocado fries before? Crunchy panko outside surrounding sliced avocado. Easy to make in the air fryer and oven, these avocado fries are the snack/side dish you didn’t know you needed.

    Prepping the avocados

    peeled and sliced avocado on a cutting board

    The best way to get evenly slices avocados are to slice down the middle around the seed, twist to open, carefully remove the seed with a knife, and peel the skin. To keep the form, I carefully slide my thumb between the avocado and the skin to gently peel it away. Then you can easily slice the avocado without mashing it.

    Panko breadcrumbs give you that delicious crunch and is my preferred type of breadcrumb. Set up a station with panko bread crumbs, flour, and 2 eggs beaten.

    Breading avocado

    One by one, roll the avocado slice in the flour (give a gently tap to remove excess flour, it should be a light dusting not caked on), then into the egg wash, followed by the panko. I gently press the panko into the avocado. Then repeat!

    Air frying

    An air fryer is basically just a convection oven on steroids. It circulates hot air at a high speed resulting in a quicker cook time and crispy outer layer, without having to fry the food.

    I placed the avocado fries in the basket, sprayed a little avocado oil over them, and then cooked them at 390F for 7 minutes flipping halfway through. If you want to use the oven, preheat the oven to 425F and spray the baking sheet with avocado spray. Place the avocado slices on the sheet, spray with avocado oil, and bake for 15 minutes until golden.

    Once the avocado fries are crispy and golden, carefully remove them and allow to cool for a few minutes. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce! Some of my favorites to use are buffalo ranch, plain ranch, chipotle aioli, or good ol’ hot sauce.

    Equipment

    • Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer

    Ingredients

    • 3 avocados peeled and sliced (see note #1)
    • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
    • ¼ cup flour of choice
    • 1 egg lightly beaten
    • ¼ teaspoon dark chili powder
    • ¼ teaspoon hot paprika
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
    • Avocado oil spray
    • Serve with: dip of choice see note #2

    Instructions

    • In a small dish add the flour, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Stir to combine. In another small dish add the egg and beat until frothy. In another dish add the panko breadcrumbs.
    • In an assembly line manner, roll the first avocado slice in the flour (give it a light tap to remove excess flour), then submerge it in the egg wash, followed by the panko bread crumbs. I gently push the panko into the avocado to ensure its evenly coated. Repeat with all of the avocado slices.
    • Lightly grease the air fryer basket with avocado spray, then place the avocado fries with some space in between, then lightly spray the fries with some avocado oil. Air fry on 390F for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until desired crispiness. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, will depend on how many batches you have to do. [See note # 3 for oven instructions].

    Notes

    1. Slicing avocado: Cut avocado in half and carefully remove the seed. Then gently insert your thumb in between the skin and flesh to peel the skin off. Place avocado flat side down and cut the avocado into slices.
    2. Favorite types of dipping sauce for this recipe: buffalo ranch, plain ranch, chipotle aioli, or hot sauce.
    3. Air fryer: Allow air fryer to preheat to 390F, most air fryers do this before you put the food in. If you must do it manually, allow the air fryer to preheat for 4 minutes. Different air fryers can yield different results when it comes to cook time and crispiness of the fries, panko should be golden brown and crisp. May need additional minutes depending on air fryer.
    4. Oven instructions: Preheat the oven to 425F. Grease baking sheet, place panko breaded avocado fries on baking sheet, spray the top with a little avocado spray. Bake the avocado fries for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until they are golden and crispy.

      Is there anyway to store these and reheat them? I want to try making them for my toddler but he only eats a little at a time.

        Hi Carrie, you could keep in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days in the refrigerator, but since it’s avocado it will brown. To reheat you can airfry at 350F for 4-5 min until warmed through.

      Can this be done with Italian breadcrumbs?

        Yes you can substitute Italian breadcrumbs, but you won’t get the same light crunchy bite as the panko breadcrumbs

        Is there a substitute you think would work for the eggs? We have an allergy in the family

          Hi Rachel, you can try using milk.

      Made this last night and turned out amazing! I have been craving fried avocado since having it at a restaurant last summer. I knew I would have to try it since getting an air fryer for Christmas. This recipe did not disappoint!

        This was so delicious!! Just got my air fryer and wanted to try making our whole dinner using it. Perfect kept friendly (ish) side to our burger! I saw a recipe using parm instead of Panko. Do you think that would still work or will it just melt off?

          Hi Chauncey! Congrats on your new air fryer, you’re gonna love it! I haven’t tried it with just parm… so unfortunately I can’t speak to how it will work out. It will probably just melt if you are using it alone.
