Air Fryer Everything Bagel Avocado Fries Recipe

Introduction

These air fryer everything bagel avocado fries are a crispy, flavorful twist on the classic avocado snack. Coated in a crunchy seasoned crumb and air-fried to perfection, they’re ideal for dipping and sharing. A creamy, tangy drizzle completes this delicious appetizer or side dish.

A white oval plate holds about sixteen crispy avocado slices coated in a coarse, golden breadcrumb and seed mix, showing bright green flesh inside a few edges. The slices are arranged loosely and drizzled with a white creamy sauce. Next to the plate is a white bowl partly filled with more sauce, with some sauce spilled on the white marbled surface around it, and a white spoon resting nearby. The textures contrast between crunchy coatings and smooth sauce, set against the white marbled background for a clean look. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs

3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

2 tablespoons black and/or white sesame seeds
2 large, just ripe avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced ½ inch thick

Olive oil cooking spray
2 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon (or more) water

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Pour flour into a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until blended. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, everything bagel seasoning, and sesame seeds.
Step 2: Dip the avocado slices into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip into the beaten eggs. Finally, coat them in the panko mixture, gently pressing to make it stick. Place coated slices on a plate.

Step 3: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray. Arrange the avocado slices in a single layer, spacing them about 1/4 inch apart. Spray the tops with cooking spray.
Step 4: Air fry at 350°F, flipping halfway through and spraying again, until golden and crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Clean out any fallen breading between batches.
Step 5: In a small heatproof bowl, microwave cream cheese on high until melted and smooth, about 30 seconds. Stir in water gradually until you reach a drizzleable consistency.

Step 6: Drizzle the avocado fries with the melted cream cheese and serve warm with lime wedges on the side.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, double coat the avocado slices by repeating the egg and panko steps before air frying.
Swap cream cheese drizzle for a tangy sour cream or Greek yogurt sauce for a lighter option.

If you don’t have everything bagel seasoning, mix sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, and onion powder as a simple substitute.

Storage

Store leftover avocado fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes to restore crispness. They’re best enjoyed fresh but can be quickly crisped up before serving again.

How to Serve

The image shows a white plate filled with crispy avocado slices coated in a crumbly, textured golden-brown crust mixed with black and white sesame seeds and red pepper flakes. The avocado wedges have a bright green inside visible where one piece is partly eaten, showing the soft and creamy fruit. The crispy coating covers the smooth green flesh in a rough, crunchy layer. White creamy sauce is drizzled unevenly over the avocado pieces, adding a smooth contrast to the crunchy texture. The plate rests on a white marbled surface.

FAQs

Can I bake these instead of using an air fryer?

Yes, you can bake them on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. They may be slightly less crispy than air-fried versions.

How do I know when the avocado fries are done?

They are ready when the coating is golden brown and crisp, and the avocado slices are heated through but not mushy. Cooking times may vary slightly by air fryer model.
