Air Fryer Avocado French Fries

Air Fryer Avocado French Fries is a great and healthy alternative to french fries. My husband and kids went crazy for them, as did I, as I was quite convinced that I would not have any for dinner because I kept eating them.

I initially saw these at Whole Foods. I thought this would be a great recipe to make in the air fryer, plus I was not going to pay over $10.00 for a box of “french fries.”

These are so easy to make. The best advice that I would offer is that you need to get really firm Avocados because they hold their shape better during the cutting and breading phases.

How To Make Air Fryer Avocado French Fries

Start by selecting firm avocados from the supermarket. The harder they are, the better they will come out. Then slice the avocados in half. Then slice them into wedges that resemble french fries.

Dip them first into flour, salt, and black pepper. (In one bowl) In another bowl, mix 1 egg and 2 tablespoons of water, beat well. In another bowl, place the panko bread crumbs.

Then dip the avocado french fries into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and then the panko crumbs. As you bread them, place them into the air fryer basket.

Spray the avocado french fries, which are in the air fryer basket, with olive oil.

Set the time to 370 degrees F, air fryer setting,  for 5 minutes. After the time is up, flip them, and spray again. Set the time for another 4 minutes

Remove them from the air fryer basket, plate, serve, and enjoy!

Pro Tips:

• For the best avocado fries, you need to start with slightly under-ripe avocados. 
• Using ripe avocados will make your avocado fries mushy after you air fry them.
• Do not crowd your air fryer basket. This Air Fryer Avocado French Fries batch needs the heat to really crisp up the edges of the fries.
• Spray your basket or use parchment paper to line your basket so the Air Fryer Avocado French Fries do not stick to the basket.
• If you want them really crispy, generously spray them with cooking spray, which will help the coating get crispy.

Why You Should Use an Air Fryer For Avocado Fries

The real reason is that they get amazingly crisp and delicious!

And they are so good! First, you get the taste of deep-frying without all of the added fat. Then, with a few sprays of high heat oil, you get a delicious and healthy batch of Avocado French Fries.

How to Bake Avocado Fries

If you want to use your oven to make a great batch of Avocado Fries, the recipe will work the same. 

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

What to Serve With Avocado Fries

This is a great appetizer, but you can also make them a healthy side dish to go with any meal!

I usually serve these with a great homemade ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing. But other options are GREEK YOGURT BBQ SAUCE and CILANTRO-LIME SOUR CREAM CREMA.

Are Avocado Fries Healthy?

Yes, this is such a healthy way to make these avocado fries. Without a lot of oil, they are so healthy. Avocados are low in calories but high in fiber and have a great number of health properties, including:

• High in vitamin C, E, K, and B-6.
• High in riboflavin, niacin, folate, magnesium, and potassium. Avocados also include lutein, beta-caroten, and omega-3 fatty acids.
• Great for vision
• Osteoprois prevention

What type of Air Fryer should I use, Avocado Fries?

This recipe will work in all air fryers. I typically use three of my favorites for most of my recipes, including:

• OMORC Air Fryer XL, 5.8 Quart Air Fryer
• Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer
• GoWise 5.8 QT
