Why You'll Love Avocado Fries
- Quick and Easy: From prep to plate in under 20 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights or when that snack craving hits!
- Healthier Alternative: Get that golden crunch without the need for deep frying, making it a guilt-free treat.
- Versatile: Serve them as a snack, side dish, or pair with a dip for a crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Ingredients
- Ripe Avocados: These are the star of the dish, offering a creamy interior that contrasts perfectly with the crispy coating. Choose avocados that are firm but yield slightly to pressure for the best texture.
- Unsweetened Soy Milk: Used as a liquid binder to help the breadcrumbs adhere to the avocado slices. Its neutral flavor keeps the focus on the other ingredients.
- Panko Breadcrumbs: These light, airy breadcrumbs create the crisp and crunchy exterior that makes these fries irresistible. They’re perfect for air frying and add a satisfying texture.
- All-Purpose Flour: This is the first step in the dredging process, helping the soy milk and breadcrumbs stick better to the avocado slices. A gluten-free flour blend works just as well for a gluten-free option.
- Salt: Enhances the flavor of the breadcrumbs and ensures the avocado fries are well-seasoned.
- Pepper: Adds a touch of spice and balances the richness of the avocado for a well-rounded flavor profile.
Variations to Try
- Herb-Infused: Add dried herbs like oregano or parsley to the breadcrumb mixture for a burst of flavor.
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mix for a hint of spice.
- Cheesy Coating: Mix grated Parmesan cheese into the breadcrumbs for an extra savory flavor.
- Gluten-Free: Swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free panko.
How To Make Avocado Fries in The Air Fryer
Step One: Slice avocados into thick wedges after halving, removing pits, and peeling.
Step Two: Add flour to a shallow bowl to create the first dredging station.
Step Three: Prepare two additional bowls: one with soy milk and another with panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
Step Four: Coat each avocado slice in flour, dip in soy milk, then press into the breadcrumb mixture.
Step Five: Arrange coated slices in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
Step Six: Serve the crispy avocado fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Expert Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Avocado Fries
- Choose the Right Avocados: Pick ones that are just ripe. Too soft, and they’ll fall apart; too hard, and they won’t have that creamy texture.
- Even Coating: Press the breadcrumbs onto the avocado slices to ensure an even and crispy coating.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Air fry the slices in batches if needed. Overcrowding can lead to uneven crisping.
- Flip Gently: Use tongs or a spatula to flip the fries halfway through cooking to keep the coating intact.
Storage Suggestions
- Refrigerate: Place any leftover fries in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat: Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Freeze: Avoid freezing, as the texture of avocados doesn’t hold up well.
What to Serve With Avocado Fries?
- Dipping Sauces: Pair with ranch, spicy sriracha mayo, or lime cilantro yogurt dip.
- Main Dishes: Serve alongside Chicken Breasts, Vegan Burgers, or Fish Tacos for a delicious meal.
- Salads: Add these fries as a crunchy topping for a Mixed Green Salad or Greek Feta Pasta Salad.
- Sides: Pair with Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries or a simple corn salsa for a fun snack platter.
