Make avocado fries in the air fryer!
I started making these avocado fries when I wanted something crunchy but a little different. They’ve got that creamy inside, crispy outside thing going on, and they don’t need to be deep-fried to get there. I usually make mine in the air fryer, but the oven works too.
The panko coating has a little seasoning for extra flavor, and they’re honestly fun to dip in just about anything. Ranch, spicy mayo, you name it. If you’ve never made avocado fries before, they’re a solid snack or side when you’ve got a couple ripe avocados to use up.
Happy Cooking!

Avocado Fries Ingredients
- Avocados: Look for ripe avocados that give a little when you squeeze them. Be sure to read my tips on how to cut an avocado.
- Flour and seasonings: All-purpose flour works great here. You can also use a 1:1 substitute of gluten-free flour. For seasonings, you’ll need chili powder, garlic powder, and salt.
- Eggs: They help the coating stick to the avocados. If you’re allergic to eggs, you can use cream instead.
- Panko breadcrumbs: They’re super crispy and crunchy, which makes a great coating. You can also use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs.

Spicy Mayo Dipping Sauce
- 3 tablespoons Greek Yogurt
- 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the flour, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Place the beaten eggs in a second bowl and the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Dredge the avocado slices in the flour mixture, then the egg, and finally the panko breadcrumbs, pressing down lightly until the crumbs stick.

Recipe Variations
- Make them extra crispy. Spritz the avocado fries with olive oil spray before air frying or baking.
- Try different spices. Garlic powder, red pepper flakes, cilantro, parsley, dill, za’atar, everything bagel seasoning, ranch seasoning, and lemon pepper seasoning all pair well with avocado.
- Make avocado bites. Cube the avocados into bite-sized pieces instead of slicing them.
Recipe Tips
- Use firm avocados that aren’t too ripe. You want the fried avocado slides to hold up to the breading and cooking process without falling apart or getting soggy.
- Press the breadcrumbs on gently but firmly. This way, the panko layer won’t slide off during cooking. You can even let the coated slices sit for 5–10 minutes before cooking to set.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. The avocado fries should be in a single layer to crisp up. If you double the recipe, you may need to air fry them in two batches.
Serving Ideas
- Dips: Spicy Mayo, Lebanese Garlic Sauce, Tzatziki Sauce
- Tacos: Grilled Shrimp Tacos, Mexican Street Tacos, Tempeh Tacos
- Salad or Slaw: Mexican Street Corn Salad, Mediterranean Chopped Salad, Fish Taco Slaw
FAQs
These avocado fries are best when they’re fresh, but if you do have any leftovers,
refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. To reheat, place in the air fryer or toaster oven at 360°F for 1–2 minutes. I don’t recommend microwaving them, because it can soften the coating.
For longer storage, these fries can be frozen for up to three months. Open-air freeze them on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes. Then, transfer them to a large freezer bag for storage.
These avocado fries are best when they’re fresh, but you can dredge them and keep them on a covered baking sheet in the fridge for a few hours before cooking. If you prep them any earlier, the avocado will start to brown.
