In this baked avocado fries recipe, fresh avocados are spiced, breaded and baked for a perfectly crispy and flavorful appetizer or side dish that's ready in 25 minutes!
Grease a large baking sheet generously with olive oil.
Add flour and sliced avocados to a Ziploc bag and shake gently to coat.
Remove floured avocadoes from the Ziploc bag and discard the leftover flour.
Place beaten eggs in a small bowl (larger than the avocado slices).
In another small bowl, combine bread crumbs, salt and garlic powder.
Dip flour-coated avocados in the beaten eggs, then put them into the bread crumb mixture and turn to coat.
Placed coated avocado pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and spray them with cooking spray.
After they have been sprayed with cooking spray, sprinkle with a little extra sea salt, if desired.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, flip over and bake an additional 5 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.
Serve warm over a salad or with your favorite dipping sauce!

Ingredient Substitutions
Bread Crumbs. This is the ingredient that makes the most difference to the taste and texture of the avocado fries. I used both panko bread crumbs and regular (pictured here) and I preferred the taste of the panko, but the sturdy coating of the regular. Seasoned bread crumbs are totally an option that will add a lot more flavor, but choose wisely! To make these baked avocado fries gluten-free, choose gluten-free bread crumbs. You can also make your own by toasting bread and then processing it in the food processor!
Flour. to make this recipe gluten-free use a 1:1 Gluten-Free All-Purpose baking flour!
Spices. 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!
