Ingredients
Scale
Coating
- 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
Avocado
- 2 large, just ripe avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
- Olive oil cooking spray
Cream Cheese Drizzle
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon (or more) water
To Serve
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Prepare the Coating: Pour the flour into a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until blended. In a third shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, everything bagel seasoning, and sesame seeds.
- Coat the Avocado Slices: Dip each avocado strip first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the beaten eggs. Finally, dip into the panko mixture, gently pressing the crumbs to adhere well. Transfer the coated slices to a plate.
- Air Fry the Avocado Fries: Lightly coat an air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray. Arrange the avocado slices in a single layer in the basket, spacing them about 1/4 inch apart. Spray them lightly with cooking spray. Cook at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying again with cooking spray, until fries turn golden and crisp. Remove breading crumbs between batches to ensure even cooking.
- Make the Cream Cheese Drizzle: Place the cream cheese in a small heatproof bowl and microwave on high for about 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Stir in water, adding more if needed, to achieve a drizzleable consistency.
- Serve: Drizzle the warm avocado fries with the melted cream cheese. Serve immediately alongside lime wedges for squeezing over the fries to add a fresh, tangy flavor.
Notes
- Use just ripe avocados to ensure slices hold their shape during air frying.
- If you don’t have everything bagel seasoning, you can mix sesame seeds, dried garlic, onion flakes, and poppy seeds as a substitute.
- Make sure to spray the basket and avocado slices well to promote even crisping in the air fryer.
- Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- The cream cheese drizzle can be adjusted to your preferred consistency by adding more or less water.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; fries tend to lose crispness if left to sit.
