Air Fryer Avocado Fries are creamy and crunchy without any oily mess! With only a handful of ingredients, these are the perfect healthy snack or appetizer!
A few months ago I made Baked Avocado Fries, which were totally delicious and healthier than the fried version, but I wanted to see how they would come out in the air fryer. Air Fryer Avocado Fries were born, and the results were not disappointing!
It’s incredibly easy to make Air Fryer Avocado Fries!
How to make Air Fryer Avocado Fries:
**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**
- Cut the fresh avocados in half, then remove the pit. Cut into 4-5 thicker slices per half, and use a spoon to scrape the back of the skin to remove the avocado flesh.
- Setup an assembly line: shallow bowl with flour, shallow bowl with egg (beaten) + 1 TBS water, shallow bowl with panko breadcrumbs + seasonings, and sliced avocados on a plate.
- Dredge the avocado carefully in flour, then dip it into the egg wash covering it completely. Let the extra egg drip off, then toss into panko mixture, pressure mixture against avocado to coat. Repeat for all avocado slices.
- Using the Air Fryer, place the avocado fries into the basket in an even layer. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
- Set the air fryer to 400 degrees and 4 minutes. When the time is up, remove the basket and carefully flip the avocado fries over. Insert basket back into air fryer and then set for 400 degrees for 2 more minutes.
- Remove and top with chopped cilantro and sprinkle parmesan cheese. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce such as Zax Sauce, BIG MAC SAUCE, or Cilantro Lime Dip!
Are Avocado Fries Healthy?
YES! Although most of the calories in an avocado come from fat, don’t shy away! Avocados are full of healthy, beneficial fats that help to keep you full and satiated. When you consume fat, your brain receives a signal to turn off your appetite. Eating fat slows the breakdown of carbohydrates, which helps to keep sugar levels in the blood stable.
- Avocados are a great source of vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Avocados contain 25 milligrams per ounce of a natural plant sterol called beta-sitosterol. Regular consumption of beta-sitosterol and other plant sterols has been seen to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
- Half of an avocado provides approximately 25 percent of the daily recommended intake of vitamin K. This nutrient is often overlooked, but is essential for bone health!
- There are SO many additional health benefits of eating avocados as well!
