Golden avocado wedges baked to crisp perfection with savory breading and a creamy interior.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Avocado

01 - 2 large ripe avocados, firm but not mushy

→ Breading

02 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 1 tablespoon milk
09 - 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
10 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

→ For Serving

11 - Lemon wedges
12 - Favorite dipping sauce (e.g., aioli, ranch, or spicy mayo)

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 - Halve each avocado, remove the pit, peel off the skin, then cut each half into 4 to 5 wedges about 1/2 inch thick.
03 - Combine flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl.
04 - Whisk eggs and milk together in a second shallow bowl.
05 - Mix panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, if using, in a third shallow bowl.
06 - Dredge each avocado wedge first in the seasoned flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko mixture.
07 - Place coated avocado wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet and lightly spray or brush tops with olive oil for enhanced crispiness.
08 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through to ensure even browning, until crispy and golden.
09 - Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve immediately with lemon wedges and preferred dipping sauce.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They taste indulgent but bake in the oven without a single drop of frying oil.
  • The creamy avocado stays soft inside while the panko crisps up like a golden shell.
  • You can prep the wedges ahead and coat them right before guests arrive.
02 -
  • Do not skip the oil spray on top, without it the panko stays pale and chewy instead of crisp.
  • Flip the fries gently at the halfway mark, rough handling can knock off the breading.
  • Serve them immediately, avocado fries do not hold well and turn limp within half an hour.
03 -
  • Press the panko onto the wedges firmly so it sticks and crisps instead of falling off.
  • Bake on the top rack if you want extra browning, just keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  • Prep the breading station right before you coat the avocados, otherwise the fruit starts to brown.
