Crispy Baked Avocado Fries

Crispy Baked Avocado Fries

Creamy baked avocado fries coated is crispy panko breadcrumbs.

Up next in my series of baked vegetable ‘fries’ is avocado fries and given my obsession with avocados I really cannot believe that it has taken me this long to get around to trying them out as fries! Like the other vegetables fries these avocado fries are super simple to make, you pretty much just need to slice up the avocados, dredge them in flour, dip them in egg and panko and then bake them until nice and golden brown and crispy and good! In total they take less than a half an hour to make so you can easily make them whenever you have a craving for fries or avocados! You might be a little surprised to learn that avocados work really well when cooked or baked and they are especially nice in these fries coated with the crispy panko bread crumbs! I served the baked avocado fries with chipotle ranch and basil ranch sauces for dipping.

Crispy Baked Avocado Fries
Look at that amazingly green and creamy avocado hidden beneath that golden brown, crispy panko coating!

With summer here, basil is once again on the menu and it adds an amazing blast of freshness to condiments like ranch dressing or even mayonnaise.

Crispy Baked Avocado Fries
Of course the spicy hot chipotle dipping sauce pairs fantastically well with cool and creamy avocado fries!

    So many questions!

    Does the age of an avocado matter? If it was somewhat under-ripe and firm, will it soften it? If it's perfectly ripe, will it be too soft?

    How does it hold up to dipping? Can you take a bit and it still be firm enough to dip again?

    Would this work with a tempura dipping sauce? Additionally, do you think it would hold up for tempura batter frying?

    Does the flavor of the avocado taste much different than raw? I've baked it before and it tasted more like a browned out-too-long kinda deal.

    Clearly, I am inspired! Thank you for the idea!

    these look good, but the next time you deep fry something…get some brussel sprouts and a beer batter. When I was in cooking school my group of 6 spent one day deep frying everything in the cooler in beer batter. Deep fried sprouts was a revelation. That was the last time I tasted them and I still remember how good they were. Holy cow…like 22/23 years ago. I never seem to have sprouts around when deep frying, I always think of them during the clean up.

    Anonymous: I use avocados that are just on the ripe side so they are still a bit firm and they easily hold up for double or even triple dipping! Deep frying with a tempura batter would also work and the tempura dipping sauce would be tasty with them! The flavour does change a bit but it is still amazing! Deep frying with the tempura batter would be quicker and have less affect on the flavour. These are definitely worth making! Enjoy!

    I love this idea! I don't know why I've never tried it before. Don't you just love panko? You can get all the crispiness of frying but in the oven. Speaking of which, I need to buy a box at the grocery store this week. Thanks for the reminder!

    I'm guessig for the Basil Ranch dressing I would want to use 2 to 3 t of dried basil if I didn't have any fresh.

    Is that a reasonable guess?

    Greybeard: I would probably skip the basil if not using fresh but if you do go with the dried, let it sit in the fridge for a while to help bring the flavours out and the 2-3 teaspoons sounds ok.

    Judy Goldin: The comments on older posts need to be moderated by me to cut down on spam bots spamming my recipes with comments.

    Avocados can be slippery! 🙂 I don't really have any tips in that regard but luckily you do not need to handle them too much for this recipe!

    Good thing this section is called "Comments," because out of 49 posts, I could only see one or two people who actually tried the recipe. Mostly they were anticipatory remarks about how good it looks, or how it will be tried soon. I wonder how many people do actually try the recipe, since so few of the comment writers come back with constructive/helpful reviews….

    Bad thing for me is that I do read this stuff mainly for feedback that is more like a review, such as "add garlic" or "increase/decrease amount of x," etc.

    Oh well, since I am so in the minority about this, maybe I'm just missing the point. Oops, bad me, commenting without having tried!

    I tried this recipe and the fries themselves didn't have much flavor. They were missing something, and almost tasted stale. The concept is great. I've made deep fried avocado fries before that turned out fantastic, but I think with baking, you need to compensate for fuller flavor.
