🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
For the Avocado Fries:
-
2 large firm-ripe avocados
-
2 large eggs
-
½ cup almond flour
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
½ tsp garlic powder
-
½ tsp smoked paprika
-
½ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp black pepper

2 tbsp olive oil (if baking)
Optional Add-Ins:
-
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (for heat)

🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Avocados
-
Slice each avocado in half and remove the pit.
-
Carefully peel the skin.
-
Cut each half into 4–5 thick wedges (like steak fries).
-
Pat gently with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
💡 Tip: Use firm-ripe avocados. Too soft = mushy fries.
Step 2: Set Up Your Breading Station
You’ll need three bowls:
Bowl 1: Almond flour + Parmesan + spices
Bowl 2: Whisked eggs
Bowl 3 (optional): Extra crushed pork rinds for added crunch
Mix dry ingredients thoroughly so seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Coat the Avocado Slices
-
Dip each avocado slice into the egg.
-
Coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture.
-
Press gently so coating sticks.
-
For extra crunch: dip back into egg and coat again.
Place coated slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet or air fryer tray.
