Perfect Avocado Fries
I know, it’s a bit of a weird concept, but stick with me here. When I first heard about these I was kinda sceptical too, but after a lot of testing and a little tweaking I’m really excited to share this recipe with you! First things first, let’s talk avocado.
Best Avocado to make Avocado Fries
As the avocado is obviously the star of the show in this recipe, it’s really important to pick the right one. You want to find 3 small perfectly ripe Hass avocados. Don’t be tempted to get an underripe avocado just because it’s more firm (and therefore easier to work with), they will come out really bitter and gross. With the same token, you don’t want to use overripe avocados, because they’ll just go mushy when you’re preparing them.
How to Slice Avocado Fries
Get your slightly soft avocado, half it, destone it, slice each half into thirds, then peel. So in hindsight you actually end up with avocado wedges, but we’re too far deep into this recipe for me to change to avocado wedges nows 🤣 To the fries!
Oven Baked Avocado Fries
I know what you’re thinking – ‘is it OK to bake avocado’? The answer is yes, but only in certain circumstances. I wouldn’t just blind bake avocado, because it gives it a brownish skin, which doesn’t taste overly pleasant. But because these are coated in a crispy crumb, you get nice crispy fries with a smooth and buttery avocado in the centre. Actually, the great thing about these fries is that they’re baked, not fried. BUT they’re just as crispy as if they were fried!
Tips for getting truly Crispy Avocado Fries
When it comes to coating the avocado, my biggest tip is to just handle it carefully so it doesn’t break/go mushy when dredging. I also recommend really making sure you completely coat each fry, especially in the breadcrumbs.

Avocado Fry Seasoning
I’ve seen a few different recipes for avocado fries and not many use seasoning other than salt and pepper. I’ve tested that out and personally feel they come out a little bland. As such, I add garlic powder in with the flour and smoked paprika and cayenne pepper in with the breadcrumbs. This, alongside the parmesan, works absolute wonders.
Avocado Fries Dip
If you ignore everything I’ve said so far, please don’t ignore this. Serve these with a dip! The difference is huge.
