The first time I had avocado fries was when my husband and I went out to dinner for an anniversary. They were so delicious I had to recreate them at home.

This baked Avocado Fries recipe is so easy to make at home that I will never find myself jonesing for the restaurant version again!

In this recipe the avocado is peeled, sliced, spiced, breaded and baked for a delicious appetizer ready in 25 minutes.

Baked Avocado Fries Recipe: Ingredients and Substitutions

  • Bread Crumbs.ย Both Panko bread crumbs and regular (pictured here) work great. I prefer the taste of the Panko, but the sturdy coating of the regular. Use gluten-free bread crumbs for gluten-free avocado fries.. You can also make your own by toasting bread and then processing it in the food processor.
  • Flour.ย to make this recipe gluten-free use all-purpose gluten-free flour.
  • Spices.ย I chose to keep this recipe simple (like a blank canvas, if you will) and only added garlic powder. However they are also amazing when other spices are added, suggestions include cumin, paprika, chili powder, Italian seasoning and onion powder!

How to Make Avocado Fries

I had raging success every time I tested this recipe, and I want you to too! So I made sure to take step-by-step photos of the process and we are going to walk through it together!

Cut Avocados

I tested a few different ways to cut the avocados to make perfect avocado fries…so here are my tips for the best results.

  1. Pick ripe, but firm avocados.ย The first important factor to successfully making this avocado fries recipe is to pick the right avocados. You want them ripe (meaning soft to the touch), but still firm enough to hold their shape without falling apart when cut.
  2. Cut the avocado in half, lengthwise.ย Cut down the axis of the avocados lengthwise. Then twist to separate. To remove the pit, tap it with a sharpe knife and turn to release.
  3. Peel the off the skin, don’t scoop the flesh out with a spoon.
  4. Cut ยฝ” pieces.ย The slices need to be thick to hold their shape.

Assemble the Avocado Fries

Begin by coating the avocado slices with flour, which gives the egg wash something to stick to, and then the bread crumb coating sticks to the egg wash.

Shake to coat.ย Put the flour and avocado slices into a plastic bag and gently shake to coat.

    Next, coat the floured avocado slices in egg wash individually. Use a bowl that is large enough to fit the entire avocado slice without it breaking or bending. I recommend putting the slices in the bowl, letting them sit for 10-15 seconds and then flipping them over.

    Have a designated “egg hand.”ย I also recommend using one hand for egg-dipping, and another hand for bread crumb coating. This will ensure you keep one hand dry to toss the breadcrumbs onto the avocado fries. I also recommend keeping a paper towel close by to use to wipe off your messy fingers.

    Before dipping in egg, combine the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and garlic powder in a small bowl.

    Then, after you dip each slice of avocado in egg wash, dip it into the seasoned breadcrumbs and coat both sides.

    Once the avocado fries are coated and placed on the well-oiled baking sheet, spray the top with cooking spray, or another oil spray. I also like to finish them off by sprinkling a little extra sea salt on top of the cooking spray for a little extra flavor.

    Bake

    Bake the avocado fries for 8 minutes on the first side, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown. After 8 minutes flip the avocado fries over and bake on the second side for about 5 minutes or until they reach your desired color and doneness.

    Serve

    Once baked, remove the avocado fries from the oven and serve immediately. You can dip them in your favorite sauces, serve on a salad, in a veggie wrap, etc. Here are some suggestions.

    Store/Freeze

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

    Reheat in the oven set to 300 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through.

    I also love eating them instead of meat in tacos! Try these sweet potato tacos and add some avocado fries, as part of a veggie wrap or sandwich or just by themselves.

    What can you dip avoado fries in?

    Dressing (ranch, honey mustard, etc), guacamole, salsa, cheese sauce, marinara sauce, etc.
