Ingredients

2 firm-ripe avocados, sliced into wedges
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp kosher salt
as needed olive oil cooking spray
1 lime, cut into wedges
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)

Instructions

1

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2

Set up your breading station with three shallow bowls: one with 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, one with 2 beaten large eggs, and one with a mixture of 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt.
3

Slice 2 firm-ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and carefully peel off the skin. Cut each half into 4-5 wedges, depending on the size of the avocado.
4

Dredge each avocado wedge first in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5

Place the breaded avocado wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch. You will likely need to cook in batches.
6

Spray the tops of the avocado fries lightly with as needed olive oil cooking spray.
7

Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy.
8

Meanwhile, mix 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving) with a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt for a quick dipping sauce.
9

Serve the avocado fries hot, garnished with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro and 1 cut into wedges lime, with the sour cream dip on the side.

Questions

Can I make Air Fryer Avocado Fries dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving). Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor); the sour cream for thick coconut yogurt with a squeeze of lemon. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Air Fryer Avocado Fries gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup panko breadcrumbs. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works); the bread or crumbs for a gluten-free loaf or gluten-free panko. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Air Fryer Avocado Fries keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Re-crisp leftovers in the air fryer at 350 F for three to four minutes; the microwave softens the coating.

Can I halve or double Air Fryer Avocado Fries?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, air-fry in batches; a crowded basket steams instead of crisping.
