Lightly breaded avocado sticks air-fried to golden perfection, blending the creamy richness of avocado with a crispy crunch. A guilt-free, quick snack perfect for any meal or occasion.
Ingredients
2 large ripe avocados
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 large eggs (room temperature)
Olive oil spray (optional, for extra crispiness)
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C)
Cut avocados in half, remove pits, and slice into 1/2-inch sticks
Toss flour mixture in a bowl with salt, pepper, and paprika
Whisk eggs in a second bowl
Dip avocado sticks first in flour mixture, then in egg, then press into breadcrumbs using both hands for even coating
Place coated sticks in air fryer basket, leaving space between them
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway for even browning
Slight oil misting (if desired) helps enhance crispiness before air frying
Notes
Use semi-husked avocados (preserve 1/4-inch peel) for structural integrity
Avoid overhandling; work in batches to maintain crispness
Pairs well with chipotle mayo, ranch, or lime crema
For gluten-free version, substitute panko with gluten-free breadcrumbs
