Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray (as needed)
  • Paprika (1 teaspoon)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup, grated)
  • Breadcrumbs (1 cup (panko for extra crunch))
  • Egg (1, beaten)
  • Avocado (2 ripe, halved and pitted)
  • Dipping sauce (optional) (1/2 cup, recipe below)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice each avocado half into wedges and set aside.
  3. In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
  4. Dip each avocado wedge into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Place the coated avocado wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.
  6. Lightly spray the avocado wedges with cooking spray to enhance crispiness.
  7. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the avocado fries are golden brown and crispy.
  8. While the fries are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing your choice of 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and a pinch of salt for a refreshing dip.
  9. Serve the hot avocado fries with the dipping sauce alongside.
