Ingredients
  

For the Avocado Fries
  • 2 pieces ripe avocados Ensure they’re perfectly ripe but firm enough to slice.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour This helps create a sturdy base.
  • 2 large eggs For binding the coating.
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs They add a light crunch.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika For a touch of smokiness.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder To add flavor depth.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Essential for elevating the dish.
For the Dipping Sauce
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream For a creamy base.
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice Freshly squeezed for maximum flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro (optional) Adds freshness.
  • Salt to taste Enhances the overall flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Carefully slice each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut each avocado half into thick wedges, about 1 inch wide. Set aside and ensure not to mash them.
  2. In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first, whisk the eggs in the second, and combine the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third.
Coating and Baking
  1. Take each avocado wedge and coat it in the flour, shaking off excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs until fully covered, then roll it in the seasoned panko mixture.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Arrange the coated avocado wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
Serve
  1. While the fries are baking, mix the Greek yogurt or sour cream with lime juice, cilantro, and salt in a small bowl.
  2. Once the fries are done, let them cool for a minute before serving. Pair them with the dipping sauce.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm avocados; experiment with breadcrumbs; a baking alternative is frying in oil; store leftovers in an airtight container for a day and reheat in the oven.
