Fresh sliced avocado, coated in crispy panko breadcrumbs and baked to perfection. These avocado fries are incredibly tasty and easy to make and are sure to impress the pickiest eaters.
There’s one thing I never get tired of making and that’s baked veggies. Especially when they replace unhealthy alternatives and taste just as yummy, even not 100x better. Broccoli tots, cauliflower tots, cauliflower pizza crust, are just a few of my favorite healthy dishes to make.
These avocado fries are something else. If you’ve never had them before, this is the perfect time to try them out. They are crispy on the outside and buttery soft on the inside. Dip them in your favorite tangy or spicy dipping sauce and call it a meal!
Crispy Baked Avocado Fries & Chipotle Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados, sliced
- Juice of 1/2 lime, optional
- Salt & Pepper
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Chipotle dipping sauce
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 Degrees F. Pour 1 tablespoon oil in sheet tray or baking dish; set aside.
Squeeze fresh lime juice on avocado slices to preserve their color while baking (this step is optional). Season with salt, pepper. Dredge in flour then dip in egg and coat in panko breadcrumbs. Be sure the avocado slices are coated very well in the panko. - Place in a single layer on the greased sheet pan. Drizzle with the remaining oil or spray with cooking spray. This will help the avocado slices crisp in the oven.
- bake for 15 minutes or until the avocados are golden and crispy. If desired, more oil can be drizzle while they are baking for additional crispness.
- Serve with my chipotle dipping sauce (get the recipe here) or with ranch, ketchup, or your favorite dip!

these are so yummy! Could i freeze these and the reheat them in the oven?
the AVOcados that i made had a bitter aftertaste. can someone pls explain how i can avoid the bitter AFTERTASTE? thanks in advance!
Umm… dId you peel the avocados?
(Excuse all caps, the site is doing it)
I got the same issue. I wonder if it’s the avocado itself?
The avocados may not have been ripe enough.
Made these and they were delicious! I will be making them again! Even better 2 of my kids ages 8 and 12 liked them. Can’t get much better than that!
Getting the kids approval is a big plus!! 🙂
Delious,I love avacoda. Will make them some more!!!
Just made these and can’t stop eating them. I did not ave I Ingredients for chipotle sauce so I just dip them in honey mustard and they were yummy
Damn delicious! You should use enough salt and a spicy dip maybe in combination with sourcreme…easy to make! Thanks!
These were delicious! I think next time I’m going to play around with the seasoning, but overall my family and I were very pleased!
What is panko breadcrumbs??
Google is there for your questions. It’s extraordinarily easy to educate yourself rather quickly when you have the internet in the palm of your hand.
I agree it one of my biggest pet peeves when people ask question they can just find themselves by googling
If you chose to not answer someone’s question, why couldn’t you just keep scrolling? Would it have been a bad thing if you would have just answered that one question? If someone replied to you in the same manner, you would be mad or have hurt feelings. Get over yourselves and actually help someone that has questions, all I can say is WOW.
IF your on here, your online. IF you cant use google, your probably in your 80’s and nothing will help. Why cant you just take your own advice and scroll on? Food for thought, your doing the same thing BTW
You can buy them from walmart, just ask them and they will show you where it is. i had the same question.
I haven’t tried these yet but the are at the top of the list for New Years.
Re: panko. I grind up seasoned croutons. It adds a little more flavor and adds a little more oil for crispiness.
Panko is fluffier and lighter than regular breadcrumbs. Find them in the same area in the grocery store. I use them as coating and in meatballs and meatloaf also.
Panko bread crumbs is a Japanese bread crumbs.
You can make them real easy, just bake some bread for regular crumbs spray them with olive oil, then put some Sazon Goya, Italian Seasoning (herbs), and baked it until the bread is real crunchy, let them cool and put them in a food processor and you have your own Panko Bread Crumbs.
Hope this help you.
God Bless You Abundantly

My family enjoyed them! ????????
They are crispy on the outside and buttery soft on the inside.????????
Thank you very much. ????????????????????????????????????
Unfortunately very bland
I added spices to the panko: garlic powder, Himalayan salt and pepper
Hi. I did as instructed… but why was there a bitter aftertaste?
Bitter aftertaste might come from either an unripe avocado, or breadcrumbs that have gone stale, or oil that is rancid. Make sure your ingredients are fresh and ripe.
how does one get the recipe.
One reads the page they’re currently on… wtf?
Mel chill out gurl
mel lmaoo you are on a roll hahaha
Mel : the recipe is not on the bottom of this page of reviews, rude bitch!
That’s hilarious and made my day. Thank you! Lol
Hello! Can I substitute almond meal for the panko breading?? Thanks!
I am just learning how to cook (late in life) I made these for the first time last night. They were so good and easy to make! So tasty thank you!
wow, what a creative use of avocado, never seen this before, thank you for this recipe, like that it’s baked instead of fried!
This looks delicious! I have tried the avocado fries at The Cheesecake Factory and wanted to know how to make them for myself. Planning to reblog on my site!
whats your site?
Do you know what these are calorie wise? They look so good & I love avocados, but I’m dieting.
There are bad calories and good calories. You can’t group themeeting into the same category. Don’t count calorie. Cut out processed foods and sugars.
Followed the instruction to a t and they came out very much burned or should I say carbon crispy Lol and I only left them in the oven for 11 minutes ,but the inside was very good and buttery Lol, too much heat I think
I’m sorry this recipe didn’t work out for you. Every oven is different and food cooks at different rates. Maybe next time you can try 10 minutes.
That’s looks delish
These are absolutely delish!
I am wondering how much of the wonderful nutrients in the marvelous food is lost when it is cooked?
Exactly what I was thinking Betty, I don’t heat any food that contains oil, such as nuts, seeds & avocados etc., as it will do some damage to the nutritional content, I also worry about the oil becoming carcinogenic when cooked on high heat, like baking, frying & toasting, so I only eat those foods raw, which doesn’t mean they can’t be added to a meal, once it’s cooked & cooled a little, sprinkle the oil containing foods (can be ground or chopped) on top, or stir through.
Where did you get he information that food cooked in oil become carcinogenic?
Hi Anonymous, it’s not the food cooked in oil that becomes carcinogenic, it’s the oil when it’s cooked at high heat that becomes carcinogenic, & as some foods such as avocado, nuts & seeds contain oil, I don’t heat those at all, as I think heating any that contains oil must lose it’s beneficial nutrients.
It’s NOT the oil NT THE food that becomes bad when cooked…I’m pretty sure its when the oil has been removed, processed and stands alone that certain oils shouldn’t be heated. I don’t see cooking these fingers being a nutritional disaster….Pringles have that category covered…this is a WAY BETTER choice
Avocado oil has the highest heat tolerance of any oil.
avocado oil in liquid form has a smoke point of 520……one of the top cooking oils. so there would be no worry there
We make Avocado fries forever @ our Puerto Rican / Colombian /Italian / American / International Restaurant since I can remember, and the cover (PANKO) can be Replaced by different crumbs like: 🥑Doritos
🥑Cheetos
🥑Fritos
🥑YOUR OWN Bread Crumbs.
If you are making your Own this will be better because you can season them with your favorites condiments like: 🥑Sazon Goya
🥑Garlic
🥑Italian Seasoning Herbs,
🥑Paprika
🥑Cayenne Pepper if you want them spicy, plus you can make Special 🥑Infused Olive Oil for a Gourmet Flavor, Bake them until they are Real Crispy and then put it @ the Food Processor and you have the most delicious DIY Panko Bread Crumbs
One tip I will give you is this:
💖Always make sure your avocado is 100% ready to eat other way the flavor will be bitter.
💖Bread Always Fresh
💖Oil must be new
💖 Always spray the avocado with your oil all everywhere and let them rest 5 minutes, this way when you put the flour sticks good.
💖 Season the flour and the eggs for a much better flavor. Remember Avocado do not has a strong flavor, the only seasoning you will taste on this fries is the one you add to the bread, flour & eggs.
💖 Over Spray Very Fast some Oil Before you put The Fries in the oven.
💖 Make sure you preheat the oven @ 500*F and after 10 minutes low it to 350*F Bake Them for 5 minutes, Turn Them and Bake Them for another 5 minutes.
Usually 10 minutes is enough to have very nice Avocado Fries🍟.
💥 REMEMBER: EVERY OVEN IS DIFFERENT, YOU MUST BE ON TOP OF YOUR FRIES THE FIRST FEW TIMES UNTIL YOU GET RIGHT THE TIME & TEMPERATURE FOR YOUR AVOCADO FRIES
💖 You Must Cut Them Thick as a Wedge, Deep Them in Lime Juice for few minutes to keep the right color, as Soonest you remove them put the seasoning and let them absorb the flavors for at least 15 minutes, then preceded to flour, egg, panko, egg, panko, put the tray in the fridge for at least 2 hours, OVERNIGHT is the best way for the Greatest Flavor, Bake Them and Enjoy the Most Flavorful Avocado Fries you can taste in your life.
At Our Restaurant is The #1 Companion for Our Gourmet Stuffed Burgers that is My Specialty!
Hope this tips will help you to make a better Avocado Fries.
ENJOY AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Ooooh, love this idea! I’ve been really into avocados lately – this is a fun take on them! 🙂
Hi There!
I tried this but unfortunaly the avocados where then bitter, what did i do wrong? i didnt taste the avocados before i placed then in the oven, but it was 3 different avocados…
cheers
Mine were very bitter also & to a shock, I did not enjoy these. Mine were executed as instructed, but they needed something else. So, I sliced some cucumber & cream cheese to pair with these for my guests.
Ha, sorry that i’m shouting. I can’t seem to TYPE lower case on this site.
I love these. I bread them then freeze till I am ready to cook them. I make them in my Air Fryer. Crisp and Delicious.
Ripe avocadoes?
Yes!
Is there something else besides egg that can be used to baste the avos?
1. Using a food processor, spice grinder, or mortar & pestle, grind the chia seeds into a meal. (If you want to grind more at once, that’s okay. Just remember that chia seeds are full of delicate omega-3 oils which are prone to spoilage when exposed to heat and oxygen. So you’ll want to store your pre-ground chia meal in an airtight container in your freezer for up to a year.)
2. Mix the water and ground chia seed meal in a small bowl. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or so, or until it takes on a goopy texture similar to raw egg yolk
I’ve made crusted avocado fries before but they are nothing compared these beauties! yum!
Thanks Rachel!!
