Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 medium avocados*
- ½ cup almond flour
- 5 Tbsp finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp water
For the Garlic Dipping Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 medium lemon zested and juiced to yield 2 Tbsp juice
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 230°C/450°F/Gas 8. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat.
- Peel and slice each avocado in half and remove the stone. Cut each half into 6 wedges, giving you 12 wedges from each avocado.
- In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Dip each avocado wedge into the egg mixture, then place in the dish with the parmesan breading mixture. Use a spoon to toss the breading on top of the avocado, ensuring that the entire avocado wedge is nicely coated. Repeat with all 24 wedges.
- Place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes. Gently flip over and bake for 5-6 additional minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven. Cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.
- While the avocado fries are cooling, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Serve the avocado fries alongside the garlic dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
*Best results are achieved using ripe, but firm avocados in this recipe. Riper fruit will not hold up to the baking process.
