Grab These Ingredients
You won’t even need 10 ingredients to whip up these baked avocado fries! Jump to the recipe card for the exact measurements!
- Avocados: These green monsters pack a nutritional punch (like healthy fats and fiber to satisfy you!). They have quite the reputation for being not ripe, not ripe, not ripe – oh wait, brown and mushy?! However, you can easily select the perfect avocado by checking under the stem. You are good to go if it’s still green there (while also soft to the touch).
- Breading: The first breading layer for these avocado fries is some seasoned flour. This will help the egg and panko stick. Mix cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt into the flour for extra flavor.
- Eggs: Eggs are like the glue that keeps the breading on (plus, they pack a little protein into these fries!).
- Panko: If you aren’t familiar with Japanese bread crumbs, get them now. They should be available in most stores right next to the regular bread crumbs. They give these fries the crunchy “fried” feeling without the oil.
Dip Tip
We’re whipping up a quick and delicious chipotle ranch dipping sauce using plain Greek yogurt, mayo, chipotle sauce, and ranch seasoning! But honestly, you can get creative with your dips (think creamy avocado lime dressing, tangy Sriracha mayo, or even a zesty garlic aioli!).
Recipe tips
Fried, Not Baked: Air-fried avocado fries hit the spot! You can cook these in the oven or air fryer. Depending on the size of your basket, you may need to cook them in batches!
Assign Breading Station Hands: Use one hand for dry ingredients and the other for wet ingredients to avoid a sticky mess. This makes the process so much smoother and quicker!
Get Sour: Out of Greek yogurt? Try sour cream to whip up your dip.
Plays well with
You can serve these fries any way you’d typically serve regular French fries! Here are some tasty options.
- Buffalo Tempeh Sandwich: Burgers and fries are always a classic combo.
- Beer-Battered Vegan Fish: Fish and chips are another classic!
- Avocado Tacos: Put these crunchy sliced in tortillas for an easy vegetarian dinner!

Sounds great, but half an avocado is 5 points on my special diet to reduce blood sugar. Can these fries be frozen and reheated?
The texture will take a hit if you freeze them! But I think reheating in the air fryer or oven could potentially save them 😀
Very good. I modified 2nd time. I mashed avocados and added lemon jest and a little lemon juice. I did not them to be too liquified. Added same spices etc. shaped into small patties. Followed rest of recipe as is. Big success.
Nothing better than hearing this, thank you!
