Many thanks to VitalJuiceLA for seeking out (via their twitter) the healthier alternative to Circle B Kitchen’s Avocado Fries I posted earlier.
This adaption (and photo) is from Beth’s blog – Adventures in Cooking. She claims they are amazing and I believe her. She even took a pic to show you how crunch they are.
BAKED AVOCADO FRIES
You’ll need:
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/4 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
- 2 firm-ripe medium avocados, pitted, peeled, and sliced into 1/2-in. wedges
- Grated parmesan for serving (optional) Mary Note: Not optional in my opinion.
Simply:
Preheat oven to 450.
Coat avocado slices in the four, then egg, then panko. Spread on a cooling rack that has been sprayed with non-stick spray, then place on a cookie sheet. Spray the top of the wedges with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, then bake for about 20 minutes at 450, or until they are golden brown (I turned my oven up to 500 for the last 5 minutes).

Trust me, they are! And they are so crunchy, too! The light spray on top really makes the difference. Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping in.
Browsed your blog for a while yesterday and can’t wait to try your pickles and english muffins. Question: have you ever tried using a wheat or spelt flour?

reminds me of an appetizer from Cheesecake Factory made with artichokes instead of avacado.

Looks scrumptious. Cant wait to try. Where do you get Panko? I have never heard of it.
January 5, 2012
Panko is a brand that packages bread crumbs. You can use another brand, but there’s something about Panko that makes it better :)

Actually panko is a type of breadcrumb(Japanese,light and airy)
January 6, 2012
And you can find it in the grocery store by other types of breadcrumbs.

I made these tonight as an appetizer while my husband was on a night bike ride and they were delicious!! The panko bread crumbs are a must for that necessary crunch. I didn’t spray EVOO on them, I just simply poured EVOO over the breaded avocado wedges. Thank you for the recipe!!

These sound so good – and a lot healthier than regular fries!

Cant want to try these! Do you have any suggestions on what to dip them in? I’m a sauce girl! :)
February 14, 2012
Stacy, I hit the balsamic vinegar or ranch!
February 15, 2012
Looks sooo yummy!

I love avocados but never have though of fixing them this way. These avocado fries are going to be on my menu soon.
February 20, 2012
Do you put the cooling rack in the oven too?? I don’t think mine can even go in the dishwasher
February 20, 2012
Lol nevermind. I just reread it.
February 24, 2012
Great recipe! I’m going to make these “gluten free”. Thanks for sharing.
March 2, 2012
These look amazing! Next time I go to the store I need to grab some avocados and make this. My family would LOVE this!
March 3, 2012
I made these tonight. They really needed something more. I didn’t use Parmasan cheese as I don’t like it. Any ideas to give them a little more flavor. I tried Marinara sauce. Not so good.. Really crunchy and good for you though. Gonna try Ranch with them next time. Use salt substitute if you feel the need for more salt.

I would mix plain yogurt, lime, and chili powder for a yummy dip with these… mmm…
