Fruits&VeggiesMonday: Avocado Fries

Here's a recipe that's beloved by my family and contains lots of healthy fats in the form of avocados. This is also my entry for #fruitsandveggiesmonday by @lenasveganliving. I always forget to take the pictures of the fries before eating them, so I'll make do with some lovely avocado photos instead ;)

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe (but not overly ripe) avocado
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-full or gluten-free)
  • Seasonings of choice (I used dulse flakes, parsley flakes, crushed chili flakes, garlic salt, crushed cashews or sunflower seeds)
  • Cooking oil
  • Water

Instructions:
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, then cut into thin slices. In a plate, pour the breadcrumbs and mix in your choice of spices/seasonings. In a bowl, mix in 1 tbsp of oil with 1 tbsp of water. Dip the avocado slices into the oil-water mixture and cover them with the breadcrumbs.

You can now fry these or bake them.

To fry: heat some oil (medium-high) in a frying pan, and fry the avocado slices for ~30s on each side.

To bake: Preheat oven to 400F, bake for 10 minutes, flip them over and bake for another 10 minutes. Eat as is or with a dip of your choice (ketchup or hot sauce works but I like dipping them in hummus).

You can use ripe avocados or these fries atop burrito bowls and salads too!

How different! I like the idea of using avocados for something other than avocado on toast or guacamole :-)

For sure! So many good ways to use avocados (like in chocolate avocado pudding) :)

Oh yes, I've used it in an avocado chocolate mousse actually. Was delicious!

Who doesn’t love avocados? Never thought to make a fry out of them, love it! That salad looks delicious as well; eating the rainbow. Thanks for sharing ✌️

Such an interesting recipe, fries aren't exactly the first thing you would think about making from avocados! No I'm really tempted to try these, I want to know how they taste! 😊

Let me know if you try it out! Obviously, they taste nothing like potato fries but they're yummy especially with a garlic or chipotle mayo.

Chipotle mayo could be my thing, never tasted that either, so I'll kill two birds with one stone! (horrible expression btw)

chipotle mayo is yummy - and definitely agree with you on that expression!
