Avocado Fries

Introduction
Wondering what else you can do with avocados apart from making guac, chocolate avocado pudding, avocado toast, avocado face masks, smoothies, or creamy salad dressings? Well, there's a lot of options right there, but here's another one: avocado fries that are bound to be a hit with the whole family.
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.
Cooking Options
You can either fry or bake these:
To fry:
- Heat some oil (medium-high) in a frying pan
- 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).
