PRO TIPS for Perfect Vegan Avocado Fries:
Selecting Avocados: Use firm avocados that are just ripe enough but still hold their shape when sliced and cooked.
Uniform Slices: Cut the avocado into even wedges to ensure they cook evenly and get perfectly crispy.
Breading: Ensure each slice is well-coated at every stage of the breading station for the best crispy coating.
How to Store leftovers of your delicious avocado fries
Store any leftover fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the air fryer or oven to bring back their crispiness before serving.
Ingredients for the crispy baked avocado fries:
- Avocados: The creamy texture contrasts delightfully with the crispy coating.
- Unsweetened Soy Milk: Acts as a vegan binder, helping the coatings stick without eggs.
- Panko Breadcrumbs: Creates a crispy exterior.
- All-Purpose Flour: Provides the initial dry coating to help subsequent layers adhere.
- Salt and Pepper: Enhances the natural flavors of the avocado.
How to make the Vegan Air Fryer Avocado Fries
Prepare the Avocado: Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and peel. Slice each half into wedges. Ensure slices are thick enough to handle without breaking.
Set Up Dredging Stations: Arrange three shallow bowls:
- First bowl: Flour for the initial coat.
- Second bowl: Soy milk for dipping.
- Third bowl: Panko breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper for the final coat.
Bread the Avocado Slices: Dredge each wedge in flour, dip in soy milk, then coat thoroughly in the panko mixture.
Cook:
- Air Fryer Method: Arrange the coated avocado slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Oven Method: Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until crispy, about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve: Serve your crispy avocado fries hot with a side of chipotle mayo, vegan mayo, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Ingredient Substitutions:
- Soy Milk: Can be substituted with any other plant-based milk, such as almond or oat milk.
- Panko Breadcrumbs: For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or finely crushed gluten-free cereal.
- All-Purpose Flour: Swap with almond flour or chickpea flour for a gluten-free and higher protein option.
Other Methods:
Besides air frying, baking these avocado fries in a conventional oven provides a similarly crispy result without the need for deep frying, offering a healthier alternative to regular fries.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair these avocado fries with a fresh salad, alongside a vegan burger, or dip them into a creamy avocado dip or salsa for a burst of flavor. Perfect for game day, gatherings, or as a novel addition to any meal. Enjoy crafting this simple, healthy, and utterly delicious snack!
