Italian Avocado Fries Recipe

These are delicious appetizers or snacks using avocado dipped in seasoned breadcrumbs and then fried.
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados, cut into 6-8 slices lengthwise (for each avocado)
- canola oil for frying
- 2 cups of panko Italian-flavored breadcrumbs with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup of flour seasoned with 1/4 teaspoon each, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, basil, parsley, salt
Instructions
- Add the flour, egg, and panko Italian breadcrumbs into three pie plates separately.
- Using a fryer or deep wok-style pan, pour enough heat around 1 inch of oil into a frying pan or deep fryer on medium heat.
- Take one slice of avocado, and coat it in the egg mixture.
- Dip the avocado into the flour, then the egg, then into the panko last.
- Cook avocado until the breadcrumb turns golden brown in a single form.
- These will not take long to cook around 30 to 40 seconds on each side, make sure you turn them for even cooking.
- Repeat with remaining avocado slices.
- Serve with fresh salsa to dip in.
- Note: I have baked these as well for a healthier version.
- Place on parchment paper and only drizzle with olive oil lightly or spray with cooking oil.
- Bake at 400 degrees until browned turning once with a spatula 12 to 15 minutes.
