NAILED IT OR FAILED IT: Celebrating Avocado Day with DIY 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.

Slice avocados into wedges and remove the pit.

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for panko breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan and seasonings.

Dredge each avocado wedge in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the floured avocado into the beaten eggs, coating well.

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

Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

Fry the avocado wedges in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle with additional salt if desired and serve immediately.
