Crispy Avocado Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
3 avocados that are firm and just barely ripe.
02 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground.
03 -
1 cup of crispy panko crumbs.
04 -
Finely shredded Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup.
05 -
Two eggs, large size.
06 -
A fine mist of cooking spray.
07 -
Chunky salt, optional.
08 -
Juice from a fresh lime (optional).
09 -
Half a cup of ranch dressing.
10 -
2 tablespoons of spicy sriracha.
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut the avocados open and remove the seeds. Gently scoop out the flesh, then slice each piece into 5 thin strips lengthwise.
02 -
Mix up the panko, cheese, and black pepper in one bowl. In another, lightly beat the eggs until smooth.
03 -
Take an avocado strip, dip it in the egg mixture, and then coat it well in the panko blend.
04 -
Lightly spray the air fryer basket. Lay the breaded slices in a flat row. Set to 350°F and cook for 3 minutes. Flip them and cook 3 more minutes until golden brown.
05 -
In a tiny bowl, stir the ranch and sriracha together.
06 -
Let them cool for a moment. You can add salt and a splash of lime juice if you'd like. Serve right away with that tangy dressing.
# Notes:
01 -
These crispy avocado fries are crunchy on the outside and creamy inside. They're best devoured while still warm.
02 -
No air fryer? You can bake them instead at 350°F for about 10 to 12 minutes until crisp and golden.
