Batter-Dipped Avocado Fries Recipe for Parties and Snacking | Foodal (2024)

For those of you who don’t know me well, you only need to know one basic fact about me:

I. Love. Avocados.

Seriously, they are the one food I cannot live without. I don’t care if it’s avocado toast, guacamole, or sliced in tacos, I will eat it in any way I can get it.

Heck, I’ll even put them in desserts like chocolate pudding and raw brownies to get my nutrient-rich fix.

In fact, I’m starting to think avocados are magical…

There’s something about the creamy ingredient that makes my heart soar. I love the richness it adds to any recipe, and I couldn’t imagine going a single day without sampling at least a little bit of one of these delightful little treats.

I know, I know. I sound a wee bit obsessed, but that is something I am willing to risk.

I’m an avocado addict.

Avocados go with so many different dishes and they can even be the star substitute ingredient in some of your favorite foods, just like they are for potatoes in this recipe.

Making batter-dipped avocado fries is one of those ways to prepare this delectable produce that I thought I would hate, but I actually LOVE.

There are some people who don’t love fried avocado, claiming it should never be served warm, but I couldn’t disagree more. I honestly think those individuals are missing out. In warm preparations, it is totally tasty.

These fries have everything you could ever want, in every single bite. Crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside, they have a delicious fried flavor with some added nutrients and protein to make you feel a little healthier about indulging in snacks.

When you snack on them, you get a whole new fry experience that you simply will not be able to resist going back for again and again.

As much as I love the classic potato fry, there’s something about subbing in the green fruit (yes, avocado is technically a fruit) that takes the snack you know and love to a whole new level.

I like how fresh and bold the flavor is, especially when you pair it with a spicy tzatziki sauce to dip the fries in. The creamy flavor of the sauce pairs with the green fruit, as well as the crisp texture on the outside.

It’s one of those recipes that you can pull out for any snack attack that you have. I like to serve these whenever I’m having a party.

Whether you are tailgating, hosting a barbecue, or simply having friends over for a casual gathering, this is an easy appetizer to whip up and serve your guests.

I’ve never gotten a bad reaction when I’ve served them – though my anecdotal data might be skewed because I don’t know that I could ever associate with an avocado-hater…

Everyone will gather around the table to enjoy these, and they will definitely be fighting over the last fry. Ready in about 30 minutes, you won’t have to worry about spending time in the kitchen when you could be enjoying the company of others.

Cooking By the Numbers…

Step 1 – Grate Cheese and Measure Remaining Ingredients

Grate enough Pecorino cheese to have 1/4 cup total.

When choosing avocados for this recipe, make sure they are ripe but not too ripe. You don’t want them to be mushy or they will fall apart when you cut, batter, and fry them.

Measure out all of the remaining ingredients as listed.

Step 2 – Prepare Produce

Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits.

Carefully scoop out the flesh from the skins.

Try to pull out the halves whole without leaving any flesh behind or breaking the fruit, if you can help it.

Slice into wedges. I sliced each half into 3 wedges, for 24 in total.

Step 3 – Dredge Wedges

Add the flour to a shallow bowl, and season it with salt and pepper.

In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk until combined.

In a final third shallow bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, cheese, salt, and pepper.

Step 4 – Coat and Fry

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be shimmering but not smoking when it’s ready.

Place an avocado wedge in the seasoned flour. Coat the wedge evenly and lightly shake off the excess. Dip the wedge in egg, and let the excess drip off. Finally, coat it well in seasoned breadcrumbs.

Repeat with the remaining avocado wedges, and place each one on a parchment-lined baking sheet when they’re ready.

Work in batches to fry the wedges, placing about 5-6 in the pan at a time. Cook until browned on both sides, about 1 minute per side.

Remove to a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste before serving with your favorite dip, like a homemade ketchup or garlic aioli.
