If you’ve never had avocado fries before, let this be a sign that you need to change that immediately.

Because they are excellent.

I first had avocado fries at a blogging retreat in Utah in 2016. A bunch of us food bloggers went to an incredible multi-course dinner and one of the appetizers was an elaborately styled plate of avocado fries. There were a few opportunities to dip if I remember, but that was about 6 years ago and I can’t say for sure. Ever since then, though, I’ve been thinking about her.

Avocado fries are amazing! Soft, buttery insides with a deliciously crunchy exterior and even more incredible when dipped in some Southwestern ranch!

To prepare these avocado fries you will need:

• eggs – Acts as a sticky glue for the flour and breadcrumbs.
• unbleached all-purpose flour – Locks in moisture when air frying.
• Panko bread crumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs) – Is the outer coating that adds texture and flavor. Use homemade or store-bought.
• garlic powder – Adds flavor that’s sweeter yet milder than fresh garlic.
• fine salt – Enhances the flavor of the breadcrumbs.
• paprika – Adds color and subtle flavor.
• avocados – Choose ripe, slightly firm and not too soft avocados.
• southwestern ranch – Great for dipping!

Prepare the ingredients for the breading:

Beat two eggs in a shallow bowl.

Grab a whisk or fork and beat well until well combined.

In a separate bowl, measure and add 1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour.

And finally, in a third shallow bowl, measure and add 1 cup panko with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and fine salt and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.

Cut 3 medium to small avocados into eighths and remove the skin and set up your breading station.

Working in batches, dip a few avocados (on all sides) into the egg.

Then in the flour.

Coating on all sides.

Dip in the egg again.

Finally dip in the seasoned breadcrumbs.

Transfer to a large platter or baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat with the remaining avocado wedges.

Air fry avocado fries:

Preheat the air fryer to 400°.

Arrange half (more or less, depending on the size of your air fryer) the coated avocados on a parchment-lined air fryer tray or insert. Make sure the parchment paper is suitable for air frying and NEVER preheat your air fryer with only the parchment inside.

Air fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden and crispy. Repeat with the remaining avocados.

How to serve avocado fries:

Serve it on a platter alongside a homemade Southwest Ranch, or tuck into warm corn husks with thinly sliced ​​cabbage, pico de gallo and drizzle with either Southwest Ranch or your choice of sauce for incredible veggie tacos.

How to store avocado fries:
