Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, cut into wedges

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking spray (or olive oil spray)

Fresh lime wedges, for serving

Chopped cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Begin by cutting the avocados in half and removing the pit. Use a spoon to gently scoop out the flesh, leaving the skin intact. Slice the avocado into thick wedges for a satisfying crunch.

    Set Up a Breading Station: Organize your breading essentials in three shallow bowls:

      - In the first bowl, combine all-purpose flour with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

        - In the second bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.

          - In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), and a touch of salt for added flavor.

            Bread the Avocado Wedges: Take each avocado wedge and dip it into the flour, ensuring it is thoroughly coated; gently shake off any excess flour. Next, dip the wedge into the beaten egg, allowing any drips to fall back into the bowl. Finally, coat the wedge in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing slightly to make sure they adhere well. Set the breaded wedges aside on a plate.

              Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for approximately 5 minutes to ensure optimal cooking conditions.

                Arrange in the Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Carefully place the breaded avocado fries in a single layer, making sure they are not touching. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches to allow for even cooking.

                  Air Fry the Avocado Fries: Lightly spray the tops of the avocado fries with cooking spray for enhanced crispiness. Cook in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, or until the fries turn a beautiful golden brown and become crispy. Remember to flip them halfway through the cooking time for uniform browning.

                    Serve: Once cooked, use tongs or a spatula to carefully transfer the avocado fries to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges and, if desired, garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
