How to Make Crispy Baked Avocado Fries
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet generously with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Set Up the Breading Station
In a wide, shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, onion powder, and sea salt.
In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy.
3. Bread the Avocados
Dip each avocado wedge into the egg whites, letting any excess drip off. Gently press into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated. Place on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Bake Until Golden
Lightly spray the tops of the avocado fries with cooking spray.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Make the Lime Ranch
While the fries bake, whisk together the ranch dressing, fresh lime juice, and lime zest in a small bowl. Chill until ready to serve.
Serve & Enjoy
Serve the hot, crispy avocado fries immediately with the cool lime ranch on the side for dipping. The contrast of crunchy coating, creamy avocado, and zesty ranch is seriously addictive.
