These AVOCADO FRIES are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Totally addictive and ready in about 10 minutes! Whether you serve them up with some dip or stuff them in a taco, you’re going to be obsessed!
Avocados are definitely a love it or hate it food, and I am firmly in Camp Give Me All The Avocado.
If you don’t like avocados, that just means there is more for me! 😉
I’ll eat plain avocados with just a bit of salt sprinkled on top, but of course we like to turn them into homemade guacamole.
And fried avocado? You seriously can’t beat that.
Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, absolutely BEGGING to be eaten. These are downright irresistible.
We often serve these with a side of ranch for dipping, but our restaurant style salsa makes a tasty dip too!
Avocado Fries Ingredients:
Avocados – Make sure to choose slightly firm avocados to make it a little easier to cut and bread them. They’ll soften up perfectly while frying.
Panko – While you could use normal bread crumbs here, panko makes for an ultra crispy coating. Highly recommend!
Oil – Any oil that can handle high heat works well here. We choose either canola oil, vegetable oil, or peanut oil when frying.
What We Love About This Recipe!
We love Avocados. And we love Panko. And we love fried foods. I think you see where I’m going with this. It’s the perfect combination! They are nice and crispy on the outside and still perfectly creamy on the outside.
How To Make Avocado Fries Recipe:
Slice: The first step to making these amazing avocado fries is to get them sliced up into half inch wedges. Using not quite soft avocados makes them so much easier to work with.
Dredge: Next up you’ll want to combine the salt and the flour together in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and finally the Panko in a 3rd bowl.
Start dredging the avocado wedges with the flour, then the eggs, and finally give them a good roll in the Panko and make sure they are well coated!
Fry: We used a large, deep skillet to fry these. Be sure to get your oil to 350 degrees before adding the fries or they’ll end up greasy.
Fry the avocado fries in batches and be sure not to overload the skillet so that they can cook evenly. You’ll want to flip them about halfway through!
If you want to keep them warm while cooking other batches try placing the fried avocados on a baking sheet in the oven at a low temp until you finish.
Helpful Tip!
Looking for a healthier option?
You could just bake some avocado fries in the oven, but they won’t be quite as crispy and delicious. Still, it is possible to get a little healthier by using the air fryer. Check out these Air Fryer Avocado Fries!

We like to serve these as a snack or appetizer alongside some ranch dressing for dipping. However, they also make an EXCELLENT taco. Just place a couple of avocado fries in a tortilla, top with your favorite toppings, and dig in!

Well I definitely have to try these–I had a tempura avocado at a restaurant the other day and it was to die for! A little bit of heaven.
Kristen says
Love you too – and if I was a good friend I would have warned you of the addictiveness of these little babies, right? Mmmmmmm!
So glad you liked them!! I think your pics are marvelous 🙂

Avocado and Fries are two of my favorite words in the world. I’m so glad you left some for the photos. They look fantastic. Bookmarking for sure.
Nicole @sugarcoatedsisters says
SUCH a good idea Karly!!! I’m dying to try this! They really only take 30-60 seconds?
Joanne says
I definitely ogled these long and hard when Kristin posted them. Then I considered whether I would be able to have any self control around them. Then I decided…not so much.
They do look super though!

My eyes popped out of my head when I saw this picture and associated what it was with the title. Amazing!
d.liff @ yelleBELLYboo says
I really try not to fry – for health reasons and because of the sheer cost of all that oil – but MAN those look good! I’d like to try to make a baked version!

Now that you have your official honorary Southerner card, you may find yourself wanting to fry all kinds of foods–food that no one has ever fried before. It’s natural, just go with it. You’ll be rewarded by the dixie gods 🙂

Pretty sure these would only last second at my house! 🙂
Rachel @ Baked by Rachel says
It cracks me up that as a society we keep turning everything into fries and chips and other snacky type foods even if it’s a healthier alternative. Glad to hear I’m not the only adult who still loves ordering chicken fingers. 🙂

ooooh, those look delicious. and yes, i definitely would have done the same thing. ;D (have done the same thing, in fact, on several occasions…)
StephenC says
I’m sure this was good, but I would not waste 1 1/2 inches of oil on it.

I love that they are so good, you ate them off the sitting room floor- if it helps, my family ate an entire Christmas dinner off the floor one year… we were so not ashamed and tucked in with gusto!
