Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, cut into wedges

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking spray (or olive oil spray)

Fresh lime wedges, for serving

Cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into wedges. Keep the skin on for added crunch!

    Set Up Breading Station: In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station:

      - First bowl with all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper.

        - Second bowl with the beaten eggs.

          - Third bowl with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and a bit of salt.

            Bread the Avocado Wedges: Dip each avocado wedge first into the flour, making sure it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour. Next, dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally, coat it in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

              Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

                Arrange in Air Fryer: Once the air fryer is ready, lightly spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the breaded avocado fries in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch to allow even cooking. You may need to do this in batches.

                  Air Fry the Avocado Fries: Lightly spray the tops of the avocado fries with cooking spray for extra crispiness. Cook them in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

                    Serve: Once they are done, carefully remove the avocado fries from the air fryer and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges and garnish with cilantro or parsley if desired.
