Ingredients for Air Fryer Avocado Fries

• Avocados: Sliced into wedges, they form the creamy center of each fry.
• Panko Breadcrumbs: Adds a crispy, crunchy coating.
• Italian Breadcrumbs: Infused with herbs for added flavor.
• All-Purpose Flour: Helps the egg wash and breadcrumbs adhere to the avocado slices.
• Egg: Beaten, it acts as a binding agent for the breadcrumbs.
• Ground Black Pepper: Provides a slight sharpness.
• Garlic Powder: Adds a subtle, savory depth.
• Sea Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the fries.
• Avocado Spray: Used to coat the air fryer basket and the fries for crispiness.

How to Cook Air Fryer Avocado Fries

STEP 1 – Preheat your Air Fryer to 370°F (188°C) to ensure a quick start to cooking.

STEP 2 – Prepare your dipping station by placing Italian breadcrumbs, flour mixed with black pepper, garlic powder, and sea salt in one rimmed dish, and panko breadcrumbs in another. Place the beaten egg in a separate small bowl.

STEP 3 – Start by rolling an avocado slice in the flour mixture, tapping off excess. Dip the flour-coated slice into the egg, then into the Italian breadcrumb mixture, and finally, coat it generously with the panko breadcrumbs.

STEP 4 – Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil to prevent sticking. Arrange the breaded avocado slices in a single layer in the basket, ensuring space between each for air circulation.

STEP 5 – Spray the avocado slices lightly with more avocado oil. Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 7-8 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through to ensure even crisping.

Note: All air fryers cook a little differently. This recipe was made using a 5.8 qt basket-style Cosori air fryer. If you are using a different air fryer brand, do a “test run” of this recipe to see if you need to adjust the cooking time.

Tips for Making the Best Air Fryer Avocado Fries

• Choose Ripe but Firm Avocados: They should be just ripe enough to eat but firm enough to hold their shape during slicing and cooking.
• Even Coating: Ensure each slice is thoroughly coated at each stage for the best crispy texture.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Cook in batches if necessary to allow air to circulate freely around each slice.

Air Fryer Avocado Fries Variations

• Spicy Version: Add chili powder or cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mix for a kick.
• Cheesy Twist: Mix grated Parmesan with the breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
