Baked Avocado Fries Food

CRISPY BAKED AVOCADO FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour with the Tajin seasoning (optional). In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs. Add the breadcrumbs to a third shallow dish.
• Pit, peel and slice the avocados into 1/2-inch wedges. Squeeze the lime juice on top of the avocado slices to coat them.
• Dredge the avocado slices in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip them in the eggs and then into the breadcrumbs, coating the avocado slices on all sides.
• Arrange the breaded avocado slices on the baking sheet then spray them with cooking spray.
• Bake the avocado fries for 10 minutes, flip them once and spray them again with the cooking spray then bake them an additional 10 to 15 minutes until they're golden brown.
• Serve the fries with your choice of dipping sauces.

AVOCADO FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the flour and ranch mix in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs in another shallow dish. Stir together the panko, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a third shallow dish.
• Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Cut each half in half again and remove the peel. Cut the quarters into thirds. (Each avocado will have 12 slices.)
• Working one at a time, dredge the avocado slices in the flour mixture, followed by the eggs and then the panko. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Coat the avocado slices with cooking spray and bake, turning halfway through and coating with more cooking spray, until golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, lime zest, lime juice and cilantro in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the sauce with the avocado fries.

AVOCADO FRIES

Steps:

• If not serving avocado fries immediately, preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Place flour in a wide, shallow bowl and panko in another wide, shallow bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and water.
• In a deep, medium saucepan, heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees F, or until a few panko bits bubble vigorously when added.
• Meanwhile, halve avocados lengthwise, remove pit, and slice each half into 4 wedges. Peel away skin, and coat each slice, one by one, in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg wash, then panko, gently pressing breadcrumbs on sides to coat. Place avocados on large cutting board or plate.
• When oil is hot, fry 3 to 4 avocado slices at a time until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Gently transfer with tongs to paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle generously with salt. Place baking sheet in oven to keep warm, or serve immediately with lemon slices and salsa or other condiments, if desired. Repeat with remaining avocado slices.
