Avocado fries

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: oat flour

Almond flour is lower in carbs and gluten-free.

panko breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: whole wheat breadcrumbs

💰Cheaper: regular breadcrumbs

Whole wheat breadcrumbs offer more fiber.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

cooking oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier but more expensive.

Cut the avocado in half and then into quarters.

Cut each quarter into two pieces to make eight pieces in total.

Prepare a three-compartment breading station: one with flour, one with egg wash (including orange juice), and one with panko breadcrumbs.

Using one hand (wet hand), coat the avocado pieces in flour, shaking off excess with the other hand (dry hand).

Dip the floured avocado pieces into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off.

Roll the egg-coated avocado in the panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Heat oil in a pot and gently lower the breaded avocado pieces into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Fry until golden and crisp, about 10 to 15 seconds per batch, being careful not to overcook the avocado.

Remove from oil and sprinkle with salt immediately after frying.

Serve with a blood orange hollandaise dip instead of traditional sauces.
