- 2 large ripe but firm Hass avocados
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1–2 tablespoons water or milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Cayenne pepper (optional)
- Chili powder (optional)
- Avocado oil spray or olive oil spray
- Carefully halve the ripe avocados lengthwise and remove the pit.
- Gently scoop out the avocado flesh in one piece from each half.
- Slice each half into thick 'fries,' aiming for pieces about 1/2-inch wide and 3-4 inches long.
- Set up your breading station with three shallow bowls: one with seasoned flour, one with whisked eggs and water or milk, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with seasonings.
- Dredge each avocado fry in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured fry into the egg wash, letting excess drip off.
- Coat the fry in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating.
- Place the breaded fries on a clean plate or baking sheet, spaced out.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Arrange the breaded avocado fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket, lightly spray the tops with cooking oil.
- Air fry for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the fries from the air fryer and sprinkle with extra salt if desired.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
