Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

½ cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for added heat)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil, for greasing

Fresh cilantro or lime wedges, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and lightly spraying or brushing it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Avocados: Carefully cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, then slice the avocado halves into wedges or strips, according to your preference. Set the cut avocado pieces aside.

      Set Up the Breading Station: Organize your ingredients into three shallow bowls: place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs together in the second bowl, and in the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with the garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), along with a pinch of salt and pepper.

        Coat the Avocado Wedges: Take one avocado wedge and first dip it into the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, immerse it in the beaten eggs, ensuring a complete coating. Finally, roll the wedge in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place the breaded avocado on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with all the wedges until they are fully coated and arranged on the sheet.

          Bake to Perfection: Once all the avocado wedges are coated, lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the fries turn a delightful golden brown and become crispy.

            Serve and Garnish: After baking, remove the avocado fries from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute. Serve them warm, garnished with fresh cilantro or lime wedges if desired. These crispy baked avocado fries pair beautifully with your favorite dipping sauce, such as spicy mayo or ranch dressing!
