Avocado Fries are the crispy, creamy snack you never knew you needed. They're perfect for a quick bite or as a fun appetizer to share with friends. The tangy lime aioli adds a zesty kick that elevates every bite.

Ingredients for Avocado Fries

Avocados are the star of the show, offering a rich, creamy texture that contrasts beautifully with the crispy coating. Choose ripe but firm avocados for the best results.

All-purpose flour helps the egg stick to the avocado slices, ensuring the breadcrumbs adhere perfectly.

Eggs act as a binding agent, securing the breadcrumb coating to the avocado slices.

Breadcrumbs, seasoned with salt, black pepper, and paprika, create a flavorful, crunchy exterior.

Lime zest and juice bring a fresh brightness to the aioli, complementing the richness of the avocados.

Mayonnaise provides the creamy base for the aioli, while minced garlic adds a subtle, savory depth.

Tips & Tricks

  • For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular ones.
  • If you're out of lime, lemon works as a substitute but will slightly alter the flavor.
  • To prevent avocados from browning, slice them just before you're ready to bread them.

Serving Suggestions

Avocado Fries make a fantastic party appetizer. Pair them with a light salad for a refreshing contrast, or serve alongside grilled chicken for a complete meal. They're also great with a cold beer or a crisp white wine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the avocado slices and bread them ahead of time. Store them in the fridge for a few hours before baking.
Can I fry these instead of baking?
Absolutely! If you prefer frying, heat oil in a pan and fry the avocado slices until golden brown.
What if I don't have parchment paper?
You can use a lightly greased baking sheet if parchment paper is unavailable.

Avocado Fries Recipe Walkthrough

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. While it heats up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

Next, cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and carefully slice the flesh into wedges. Try to keep them as uniform as possible for even cooking.

Set up your breading station with three separate bowls: one for the flour, another for the beaten eggs, and a third for the breadcrumb mixture seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Dredge each avocado wedge in the flour, making sure it's fully coated. Then, dip it into the egg, letting any excess drip off, before rolling it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to help the breadcrumbs stick.

Arrange the breaded avocado slices on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they're golden brown and crispy on the outside.

While the fries are baking, prepare the lime aioli. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, and minced garlic until well combined.

Once the avocado fries are done, serve them warm with the lime aioli on the side for dipping. Enjoy the delightful crunch and creamy goodness!
