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

What temperature does Air Fryer Avocado Fries cook at?

For Air Fryer Avocado Fries, the air fryer is set to 375 F (about 190 C) in step 1. The longest stretch at that heat is 10 minutes, in step 7. Air fryers run hot or cool by model, so check two minutes early the first time.

What should Air Fryer Avocado Fries look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 7: cook until the coating is golden brown and crispy.

What can I use instead of panko in Air Fryer Avocado Fries?

The entry for Air Fryer Avocado Fries calls for 1 cup panko breadcrumbs. In its place: Coarse dry breadcrumbs, crushed cornflakes or crushed crackers all work. Fine breadcrumbs coat more densely, so use a little less.

Can I make Air Fryer Avocado Fries dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Air Fryer Avocado Fries 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 Air Fryer Avocado Fries 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.

Can I freeze Air Fryer Avocado Fries?

It is not a good candidate. Refrigerate what is left of Air Fryer Avocado Fries within two hours and eat it within three days. Re-crisp leftovers in the air fryer at 350 F for three to four minutes; the microwave softens the coating.
