Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 large egg

1 tablespoon water

Cooking spray (for spraying the air fryer basket)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes while you prepare the avocado fries.

    Prepare the Avocados: Slice the avocados into wedges (about 6 wedges per half). Carefully scoop them out of the skin with a spoon, keeping them intact.

      Make the Breading Mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

        Prepare the Egg Wash: In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until frothy.

          Bread the Avocado Wedges: Dip each avocado wedge first into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, transfer it to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Repeat this process for all avocado wedges.

            Arrange in the Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray. Place the avocado fries in a single layer in the basket, ensuring that they aren't overcrowded (you might need to do this in batches).

              Air Fry the Avocado Fries: Lightly spray the tops of the avocado fries with cooking spray. Cook in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.

                Serve: Once done, carefully remove the avocado fries from the air fryer and serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan if desired. Feel free to pair them with a dipping sauce like ranch, spicy mayo, or a zesty lime crema.
