Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large Hass avocados firm ripe
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour or almond flour for keto
  • 2 large eggs beaten, or vegan egg replacer
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs or gluten-free panko
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt plus more for seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly cracked
  • cooking spray avocado or olive oil
Optional Garnishes
  • fresh cilantro chopped
  • lime wedges
  • Tajin seasoning for zest

Equipment

  • Air Fryer,
  • Shallow Bowls
  • tongs
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Set up three shallow bowls for a breading station: Place flour mixed with a pinch of salt in the first bowl. Whisk eggs in the second bowl. Toss panko with garlic powder, paprika, and another pinch of salt in the third bowl.
  2. Slice avocados in half lengthwise and remove pits. Carefully peel skin off, leaving the flesh intact. Cut each half into 3 to 4 thick wedges – about steak fry size.
  3. Dredge each avocado wedge in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into egg wash, ensuring full coverage. Press into seasoned panko, coating all sides. Place on a clean plate.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange fries in a single layer in the basket, ensuring no overcrowding. Work in batches if needed.
  5. Spray tops of the fries generously with cooking spray. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes. Flip halfway through and spray again. Cook until golden brown like late summer wheat.
  6. Remove with tongs and place on a wire rack for 2 minutes. This sets the crust and prevents burnt tongues on molten centers.

Notes

Pro Tips:
Use only firm-ripe avocados to prevent crumbling.
Keto version: Substitute flour with almond flour and panko with crushed pork rinds or grated Parmesan.
Vegan version: Replace eggs with arrowroot slurry or a store-bought vegan egg wash.
Storage: Best eaten fresh; reheat in the air fryer to regain crispiness.
