How to Make Easy Air Fryer Stuffed Avocado Recipe

Step 1: Start by cutting your avocados in half and removing their pits. Now, use a spoon to scoop out some of the flesh, but not entirely. 

Step 2: Season the avocado halves with some salt, pepper and other seasonings of your choice. 

Step 3: Prepare your chosen filling in a bowl. This can be anything you prefer.

Step 4: Stuff the avocado boats with the filling, pressing it gently to pack it in. 

Step 5: Spray the avocado boats with cooking spray and transfer them to the Air Fryer basket, filling side up. Set air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F, and set cook time for 5-8 minutes or until the filling is warmed up and the avocado flesh has a bit of crispness. Top the avocados with sour cream, salsa or any other toppings of your choice and serve immediately. 

Tips & Tricks to Make Stuffed Avocado in the Air Fryer

• Avocados are the key ingredient for this recipe, so make sure you pick ones that are ripe and firm, but not too mushy. 
• Remember to preheat your Air Fryer before you add in the avocados. This helps them get that crispy exterior you’re looking for. 
• Scoop the avocados just enough to create a well for the filling. If you scoop out too much of the flesh, the fruit will collapse when you start to fill it up. Also remember not to add too much of the filling, or it will turn the fruit mushy. 
• For extra flavor, season the avocado wells with some salt and pepper before you start filling them up. 
• These air fried stuffed avocados are best made and served fresh, so make sure you serve them immediately after they’re done cooking. 

Storage Instructions

Refrigeration: If you have some leftovers, transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 2 days. I wouldn’t recommend storing them beyond that point, as the filling and the avocado boats can start to get spoilt. 

Reheating: Use the microwave or your Air Fryer to reheat the leftovers until they’re nice and warm. 

Serving Ideas & Suggestions

Enjoy these air fried stuffed avocados as a side dish with your Tex-Mex mains like Mexican chicken casserole or a weight watcher’s chicken burrito bowl. 

Make it a part of your low carb meal by teaming it up with some air fried chicken tenders or chicken caprese foil packets. 

You can also serve these as a snack with a dipping sauce on the side. My Mc Donald’s buffalo sauce and copycat Zaxby’s ranch sauce are my personal favorites. 

FAQs

My avocados are turning brown. What should I do? To keep the avocados from browning, brush some lemon or lime juice on the exposed areas. 

Are these Air Fryer stuffed avocados healthy? They can be! Fill them up with a healthy protein and veggies, and air fry them with minimal oil, and they can actually be a healthy snack or breakfast option, packed with fiber, vitamins and good fats. 

How long will they take to cook through? Cooking times can vary depending on the size of the avocados and the kind of Air Fryer you’re using, but it should take anywhere between 5-8 minutes for these stuffed avocados to cook through.
