Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet and set it aside. Next, halve the avocados lengthwise and then cut them into wedges.
Prepare three dishes for coating. Using a shallow bowl works well. In the first bowl add the beaten eggs. In the second bowl add the flower. The third bowl add the panko breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.
1/2 Cup Flour, 2 Large Eggs, 1 Cup Panko Breadcrumbs, 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning, 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder, 1 Teaspoon Salt
Dredge each avocado wedge first in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it evenly with the seasoned panko mixture. Place the coated avocado wedges onto the prepared baking sheet.
2 Large Avocados
Give the avocado wedges a light spray of cooking oil and bake them for 12-14 minutes until they turn crispy and golden brown.
Baking in the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
Prepare three shallow dishes for coating: one with beaten eggs, another with flour, and the last one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.
Dredge each avocado wedge first in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg, and finally coat it evenly with the seasoned panko mixture. Place the coated avocado wedges onto the prepared baking sheet.
Place the coated avocado wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching each other. If desired spray with cooking spray for a bit extra crispy texture.
Cook the avocado wedges in the air fryer for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
Storing leftover avocado fries is essential to maintain their texture and flavor. Here are some tips on how to do it properly:Refrigerate. Place the leftover avocado fries in an airtight container or a zip-top bag. Add a layer of parchment paper or wax paper between the fries to prevent them from sticking together. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days.Avoid Freezing. Unfortunately, avocado fries do not freeze well due to their high water content. Freezing can cause them to become mushy upon thawing.Reheating. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are heated through and crispy again. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.Best Fresh. Avocado fries are best enjoyed fresh, so try to eat them soon after baking for the crispiest texture. Reheated avocado fries may not be as crispy as when freshly baked, but they’ll still be tasty.
