Introduction to Air Fryer Avocado Fries
We recently invested in a new 5.8 qt air fryer, and it has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. When we cook dinner, we make big portions of meat and veggies, so the small one just wasn’t cutting it. To break it in, we made delicious Air Fryer Avocado Fries. It was my first time trying warm avocado, and I was a little skeptical, but I’m officially a convert.
Easy Air Fryer Recipes
If it’s been a long day or I’m in charge of our seven-month-old son during dinner time, I always turn to the air fryer for easy cooking and clean up. I have some sure winners that I always turn to:
- Air Fryer Pork Chops
- Air Fryer Meatballs
- Or if we’re feeling a little naughty, we whip up a giant Air Fryer Cookie!
Choosing the Right Avocados
Since your avocado slices are going to be crisped up like fries, you don’t want them to be soggy. The best avocados for this recipe are ones that are on the verge of perfect ripeness. A little hard is okay, so use up those avocados that are sitting on the counter waiting to get ripe by making some air fryer avocado fries!
Simple Breading
Keto breading never requires three bowls like you need in traditional high-carb breading. We omit the first bowl of flour and go straight to the egg wash. Next, and most importantly, we have a mixture of almond flour and grated Parmesan, plus any seasonings you want, which will result in a perfectly crisp and salty coating.
Achieving Crispiness
As mentioned, all air fryers vary in cook time. We know this for a fact from owning two very different ones. Our first air fryer, which we loved dearly, ran a bit hot, so things cooked quickly. Now, our current air fryer, taking into consideration the large size of the basket, takes a little longer to get to the same cook point. For this sole purpose, you want to keep an eye on the air fryer avocado fries. Never set the temp and time according to the post and walk away until done, unless you have the same air fryer as us! You might just end up with burnt avocado fries.
