These Avocado Fries are crispy on the outside and soft and creamy in the middle. Easily made in the air fryer or baked in the oven.
If you’re like me and have an obsession with Avocados, you are going to love these Avocado Fries.
They’re crispy on the outside, soft and creamy in the middle, which makes them the perfect snack!
You can add your favourite seasonings to the crumb. I've used my homemade Everything Bagel Seasoning which goes so well with the avocado fries with all of its different seeds and flavours.
To make them healthy, I have a method below for avocado fries in the air fryer and oven baked. You can of course deep fry them too but these methods are healthier options.
Crispy avocado fries are so fun to make, vegan, and would be great to serve as a side dish or appetizer.

Ingredients to make Avocado Fries
- Avocados, you want to select the perfect avocado, not too firm and not too soft, just right.
- Flour and Milk, provide the initial coating of the avocados. I’ve used plain flour and almond milk, however there are no rules
- Panko breadcrumbs is used for the external breading of the avocado
- Everything Bagel Seasoning, I’ve included in the panko breadcrumbs as the seasoning. You can add any seasoning of your liking. Commonly garlic powder, paprika with salt and pepper works a treat too
- Olive oil spray is needed to coat the fries before cooking. I like to use the extra virgin olive oil however you can use avocado oil as an alternative

FAQs
Avocados are healthy, containing many vitamins and minerals that include unsaturated fats. Making the fries in the air fryer or oven also offer a healthier cooking method.
This recipe is made vegan by using almond milk and flour as the base coating rather than using an egg wash.
Tips to make Crispy Avocado Fries Recipe
- Ensure to use ripe avocados that are still a little firm. However not too soft as they won’t hold their shape and not too hard as they won’t taste ready.
- Double coating the avocado slices in the flour and milk mixture gets them super crispy without the need for any egg wash
- Ensure to spray the tops well with olive oil before placing in the air fryer or oven so they become nice and golden
- Don’t overcrowd the avocado fries in the oven or air fryer. You want them laid in a single layer and not touching so they can become crispy
- Allow the fries to cool on a cooling rack rather than a plate so they don’t steam and become soggy on the bottom especially if cooking them in batches
