Crispy Creamy Avocado Fries!
Avocados are definitely a love it or hate it food, and I am firmly in Camp Give Me All The Avocado.
Our usual go-to is making my homemade guacamole, but sometimes you just need avocado fries.
Crispy on the outside thanks to the panko coating, creamy on the inside because, well, avocado.
We like to serve these as a snack with ranch dip but if you really want to go all out, use them as the filling for a taco!
A soft tortilla, fried avocado, and all the taco fixings your heart desires…Just be sure to drizzle it with a bit of our cilantro lime dressing to finish it off. Life changing.
Ingredient Notes:
Avocados – Make sure to choose slightly firm avocados to make it a little easier to cut and bread them. They’ll soften up perfectly while frying.
Panko – While you could use normal bread crumbs here, panko makes for an ultra crispy coating. Highly recommend!
Oil – Any oil that can handle high heat works well here. We choose either canola oil, vegetable oil, or peanut oil when frying.
What We Love About This Recipe!
We love Avocados. And we love Panko. And we love fried foods. I think you see where I’m going with this. It’s the perfect combination! They are nice and crispy on the outside and still perfectly creamy on the outside.
How To Make Avocado Fries Recipe:
Slice: The first step to making these amazing avocado fries is to get them sliced up into half inch wedges. Using not quite soft avocados makes them so much easier to work with.
Dredge: Next up you’ll want to combine the salt and the flour together in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and finally the Panko in a 3rd bowl.
Start dredging the avocado wedges with the flour, then the eggs, and finally give them a good roll in the Panko and make sure they are well coated!
Fry: We used a large, deep skillet to fry these. Be sure to get your oil to 350 degrees before adding the fries or they’ll end up greasy.
Fry the avocado fries in batches and be sure not to overload the skillet so that they can cook evenly. You’ll want to flip them about halfway through!
If you want to keep them warm while cooking other batches try placing the fried avocados on a baking sheet in the oven at a low temp until you finish.
Helpful Tip!
Looking for a healthier option?
You could just bake some avocado fries in the oven, but they won’t be quite as crispy and delicious. Still, it is possible to get a little healthier by using the air fryer. Check out these Air Fryer Avocado Fries!

brilliant. have you dried them with black pepper? chili flakes? garlic salt? nutritional yeast? (basically powdered butter) curry powder? these are the common things that i sprinkle on raw avocado, plus salt, that are so so good.

I had these at a bar in Raleigh NC (cannot remember which one for the life of me!) – they served them with a chipotle cream, SO amazing!!! The spicy sauce helped to balance out the ridiculous richness of the dish. I’m so excited by this recipe, I know what I’m making this weekend 🙂
