Servings: 15 fries
Calories: 349kcal
Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 egg
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425. Prepare your baking pan by putting a sil pat or parchment paper over a baking sheet and a cooling rack atop the baking sheet, which is where your fries will rest when they bake.
- Go ahead and set up your assembly line before you start on the avocados. You'll want three flat bottomed but with a decent height container to hold your steps. In the first one, place the flour and salt and stir to combine. In the second goes the beaten egg. The third will contain your Panko, seasoning, and melted butter. Mix together the bread crumbs and seasoning first, then pour in the butter.1/2 cup flour, 1 egg, 1 cup panko bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon fajita seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- Split your avocado in half as you normally would and remove the pit. Scoop the whole half out and set it flat side down on a cutting board. Slice them into about 1/4 inch wide slices, lengthwise.1 avocado
- Now comes the fun! Dredge the avocado in flour until it's coated but not thick with flour on all sides.
- Using one hand, carefully dip the avocado slice into the egg wash and coat it without losing all your flour.
- Using that same hand, move the slice to the Panko mixture and turn it to coat it in Panko. Place the prepped fry onto the cooling rack over your baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining fries.
- Place in the 425 degree oven for 20 or so minutes, until the Panko has started to turn a beautiful golden brown. Serve immediately, either alone or with a dipping sauce.
Notes
- I made a chipotle lime mayo that was perfect to accompany this, I thought. It was easy - I simply combined about a third of a cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoon of chipotle sauce, and the juice of most of a lime. Start with a little less of the chipotle and lime and stir it together, tasting until it's exactly how you want it. And yes, I've since discovered this is a great topping for a burger, too!
- If you don't use a wire cooling rack over your baking sheet, you need to turn the fries over halfway through baking so they crisp up on both sides. Otherwise, you end up with fries that are soggy on one side.
