Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, sliced
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the avocado fries from sticking.
- Prepare the avocados by slicing them in half, removing the pit, and carefully scooping out the flesh. Cut each avocado half into wedges or thick slices, depending on your preference.
- In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station. In the first bowl, place the flour and season it with salt and pepper. In the second bowl, beat the two eggs until well mixed. In the third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
- Take each avocado slice and first coat it in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully covered. Finally, roll the slice in the breadcrumbs until it is completely coated. Repeat this process for all avocado slices.
- Once all the avocado slices are breaded, arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there is some space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the avocado fries are golden brown and crispy. You may want to flip them halfway through for even browning.
- While the avocado fries are baking, prepare the lime dipping sauce. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and lime juice. Mix well until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
- Once the avocado fries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with the lime dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
- Enjoy your delicious avocado fries with a refreshing lime dipping sauce!
Tips
- Choose ripe but firm avocados - they should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy.
- Make sure to pat your avocado slices dry before breading to help the coating stick better.
- Space out the avocado fries on the baking sheet to ensure they get crispy on all sides.
- For extra crunch, consider adding some grated Parmesan or panko breadcrumbs to your breading mixture.
- Serve immediately after baking for the best texture and flavor.
- If you want to make them extra special, sprinkle some chili powder or smoked paprika into your breadcrumb mixture for added kick.
- The lime dipping sauce can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated to let the flavors meld together.
