Vegan Air Fryer Avocado Fries Recipe

Ingredients

Avocado Fries

• 1 large avocado (ripe but slightly firm)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (more as needed)
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk (plain, unsweetened)
• ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
• Oil spray

For Dipping

• Chipotle Mayo (for serving)

Instructions

1. Cut the avocado in half, remove the peel and pit, then slice into ¼-inch thick slices.
2. In a small shallow bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the non-dairy milk into a second small bowl. Place the panko breadcrumbs into a third small bowl.
3. Working one slice at a time, first coat the avocado slice in the flour mixture using your dry hand to sprinkle the flour. Then dip it into the non-dairy milk with your wet hand. Transfer the slice to the panko breadcrumbs and coat both sides thoroughly. Repeat for all slices.
4. Arrange the coated avocado slices in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Spray the slices lightly with oil spray. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Season with a little extra salt and pepper while hot.
5. Serve immediately with chipotle mayo for dipping. Enjoy while fries are fresh and crispy.

Notes

• Coating tip: Keep one hand dry for flour and panko, and the other hand wet for the milk to make coating easier and less messy.
• Oven method: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange coated avocado slices on parchment-lined baking sheet, spray with oil. Bake 10 minutes, flip, spray again, and bake another 10 minutes until crispy and golden.
• Serving suggestions: Best served fresh with chipotle mayo or vegan Dijon aioli. Great in bowls, tacos, or wraps as a crispy addition.
