Best with Hard Ripe ÉVO® Hass Avocado
Crisp outside, creamy inside — avocado fries are a crowd-pleasing snack or side. Only firm fruit will survive the crumbing and cooking process without falling apart.
What You’ll Need
- 2 hard ripe ÉVO® Hass avocados
- ½ cup plain flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- Oil for frying, or air-fryer spray
- To serve: lime wedges, aioli or yoghurt dip
How to Make It
- Cut avocados into even wedges (about 1 cm thick).
- Set up three shallow bowls: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and panko mixed with garlic powder, paprika and salt in the third.
- Dredge each wedge in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, and finally coat thoroughly in seasoned panko.
- For frying: heat oil in a deep pan to 180°C and fry wedges in batches for 2–3 minutes until golden. Drain on paper towel.
For air-frying: arrange wedges in a single layer in an air-fryer basket, spray lightly with oil, and cook at 200°C for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway. - Serve hot with lime wedges and your chosen dip.
Tips & Variations
- Add grated Parmesan to the panko for a cheesy crust.
- For a spicier version, mix sriracha or chilli garlic sauce into the dip.
- Prepare wedges up to the crumb stage, freeze on a tray, then cook from frozen when needed.
Good for You
While still a treat, avocado fries deliver fibre, potassium and healthy fats from the fruit, with a satisfying crunch. Baking or air-frying reduces oil while keeping the texture close to deep-fried.
