Are you finding yourself bored during quarantine? Get the family together and spend some time trying out a new and fun recipe!. Everyone loves a good batch French fries; this recipe, however, for \u201cAvocado Fries\u201d is a healthier take on the classic and beloved snack, that everyone in the family will surely love! The best part is that it\u2019s always Avocado season in Sayulita! I had not even heard of avocado fries until a couple of weeks ago; my husband and I happened upon them on the menu at one of the beach restaurants here in Sayulita! Being a foodie and because I love avocados, I just had to try them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those avocado fries had to be one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten here in Sayulita! They were so good that I came home and went right to my kitchen to see if I could duplicate them. The ingredients and the method for this recipe are very easy — anyone can make them from home!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS:<\/b><\/p>\n

-2 large avocados; they should be firm but ripe enough to slice into wedges.<\/span><\/p>\n

-\u00bd cup all purpose flour. (If you are watching your carbs you can substitute for almond flour).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

-1 Tablespoon of chili powder.<\/span><\/p>\n

-2 teaspoons of salt, divided into 1 & \u00bd teaspoons, and \u00bd teaspoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

-2 eggs, beaten.<\/span><\/p>\n

-1 & \u00bd cups of panko breadcrumbs. (If you are concerned about carbs, you can finely crush up chicharones, and add some finely crushed almonds and use this instead of the panko breadcrumbs).<\/span><\/p>\n

-\u2153 cup vegetable oil or avocado oil.<\/span><\/p>\n

INSTRUCTIONS:<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Slice the avocados in half so that you can then remove wedges that are \u00bd\u201d thick.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, chili powder, and 1 & \u00bd teaspoons of\u00a0 salt.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Dredge each avocado slice in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture. After, roll the avocado in the Panko breadcrumbs (or ground chicharones & almonds). Repeat with all avocado slices.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. You do not need a deep layer of oil, so use an appropriate pan.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Add a single layer of avocado slices to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Drain on paper towels. I like to do 4 or so wedges at a time so that they are not crowded in the pan.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Sprinkle the avocado slices with the remaining \u00bd teaspoon of salt and serve immediately (you can serve with a dipping sauce if desired.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I made a chipotle-mayo dipping sauce from my homemade mayonnaise — I simply added finely blended chipotle in adobo sauce. Add a bit of the chipotle at a time until you have the amount of flavor that you prefer. These chipotles are VERY hot, so I recommend adding slowly to your taste. You can find these chipotles in most of our Sayulita tiendas. You can also serve these fries with ranch dressing.<\/span><\/p>\n

    I hope that you love these Avocado Fries as much as I do. You can serve them as an appetizer or a side dish for your main course. YUM!<\/span><\/p>\n
