Ingredients

Avocados – The avocados should be just ripe and have no blemishes. If they are too soft, breading them can be more difficult.
Flour – We use regular all-purpose flour.
Eggs – For the breading.
Breadcrumbs – We used unseasoned breadcrumbs, but you can use seasoned breadcrumbs or panko if you prefer.
Salt – Enhances the overall flavor.
Black pepper – Adds a hint of spice to the breading.
Garlic powder – For extra flavor.
Paprika – For extra flavor. We use mild paprika, but you can use smoked paprika or hot paprika if you prefer.
Oil spray – Optional, but recommended. We use avocado oil spray, but you can use whatever oil spray you have on hand.

Recipe Tips

The avocados need to be just the right amount of “ripe” to work well for fries. Too ripe and they will mush as you toss them in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Too hard and the avocado will be hard to cut and will feel “firm” and not taste creamy. It’s best to use avocados without blemishes that are just ripe and ready to eat.
Feel free to change up the spices that you mix in with the breadcrumbs to your liking.
For added crispiness, we recommend lightly spraying the breaded avocado fries with some oil spray.
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. The avocado fries should not overlap so they can crisp evenly. Cook in batches if needed.

cut up and sliced avocado on a wooden cutting board.

First, cut the avocados in half and remove the pit (carefully). Then make about 4 lengthwise cuts into one half of the avocado, so the knife goes through the whole avocado to the back peel.

Take a spoon and move in a circular motion around the outside edge of the avocado to loosen the avocado fries.

Then gently scoop out the avocado pieces and place them on a clean plate or cutting board. Repeat the steps with the other avocado halves.

Next, prepare the plates you will use for breading the avocado fries. Place the flour on one plate, the cracked and whisked eggs on another, and the breadcrumbs on the third plate.

Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (or the spices of your choice) to the plate with the breadcrumbs and mix until well combined.

Next, dip one avocado fry into the flour and turn until it is fully coated. Then dip it into the whisked egg and move it around until it is fully coated.

Lift the fry, let the excess egg drip off, and place the piece of avocado on the plate with the breadcrumbs. Press down slightly, then turn until the avocado slice is fully coated.

Lastly, place the avocado fry onto a clean plate and repeat the steps until all pieces of avocado are breaded.

Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.

Once hot, place the avocado fries into the air fryer basket. There should be some space between them. If your air fryer is quite small, you may have to cook them in two batches.

You can lightly spray the tops of the avocado fries with some oil spray for a little extra crispiness (this is optional, but recommended).

Cook the avocado fries at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-9 minutes total, or until the breading is nicely brown and crispy on both sides. Flip the fries after 6 minutes and spray with more oil spray.

The exact cooking time can vary depending on your air fryer and personal preference.

Storage Tips

Avocado fries taste best when they are fresh and warm out of the air fryer.

If you have leftovers, you can store them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They will lose some of their crispiness over time.

To reheat them, avoid the microwave since they will only get soggier. Instead, use the air fryer to reheat them and bring some of the crispiness back.
