Equipment

air fryer
cutting board
paring knife

Ingredients

3 ripened avocados skin peeled and pit removed
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup flour of your choice Almond flour, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour are some suggestions
1 egg lightly beaten
⅛ tsp chili powder
⅛ tsp paprika
⅛ tsp garlic powder
⅛ tsp onion powder
⅛ tsp salt
⅛ tsp ground black pepper
cooking spray

Instructions

Step 1 - Slice your avocados.
First, hold your avocado in your non-dominant hand. Hold a knife and cut around the outside of the avocado lengthwise using your dominant hand.
Next, remove the pit by scooping it out with a fork or a spoon.
Then, hold one-half of the sliced avocado in your non-dominant hand, and using your dominant hand, slide a fork or spoon around the inside of the skin and outside of the avocado removing it from the skin.
Repeat the skin removal from the second half the same way you removed the skin from the first half.
Step 2 - Slice each half into 4 or 5 slices, lengthwise.
Step 3 - Prepare your assembly line. In one dish combine flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and chili powder. In a second dish beat your egg and season with salt and pepper. In a third dish have your panko.
Step 4 - Lightly spray the bottom of your air fryer with cooking spray. Dip each slice of avocado in the flour mix, then the egg, then the panko. Push down in the panko to be sure it really sticks then lay your avocado on the bottom of the air fryer. Repeat until all slices have been used.
Step 5 - Make sure your slices aren't touching in the air fryer. Air fry at 375 degrees for 5 minutes. Flip over and cook for another 3 minutes at 350 degrees. May need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 6 - Remove from the air fryer and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

How to tell if an avocado is ripened - Put the avocado in your hand and squeeze it, if it gives way to your squeeze then it's ripened.

The best way to store avocado fries is in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also squeeze lemon juice on top of them to help them from turning brown.

How to reheat your avocado fries? Add your already made avocado fries to the air fryer and heat them up on 350 degrees for 3 to 4 minutes.

How can the kids help?

This is a great recipe to include your kiddos on. Kids love to get dirty we all know. After slicing the avocado and setting up the breading station, have your kids help you coat the avocados.

They can easily dip each avocado slice into the flour, egg, and then panko.
