Baked Avocado Fries

My relationship with avocados started out innocently enough.  I enjoyed the creamy slices that were served alongside my street taco or floating on top of my bowl of tortilla soup.  But slowly, over time, my love for the little green fruit grew into a full blown obsession.  The beloved avocado has worked its way into my heart and now I just can't get enough of them. 

Avocados are a staple in our house.    ​I don't even bother adding them to my grocery list anymore - I just pick up 1 or 2 every time I go to the grocery.  It seems pointless to question whether or not we NEED more.  Of course we need more avocado and the thought of facing a day without an avocado in the house is just a little heart breaking.

I love freshly made guacamole and I adore avocado toast.   I put sliced avocado on just about everything that I can - salads, soups, sandwiches, tacos, etc.  They just make everything better.  I've even put them in muffins and burgers.  Oh, and if you happen to be my server at a restaurant - save yourself the trouble of asking - YES, I do want avocado with my meal.  I know it costs extra - it's worth it.  Bring me all the avocados in the kitchen, please.  

​If you're still teetering on the edge of admiring avocados and a full blown avocado obsession - do NOT make these avocado fries.  The crispy panko crust over the warm, creamy avocado slice is absolutely ridiculous and will likely turn you into a super fan.  These baked avocado fries are so good and I dare say that they're one of my very favorite ways to enjoy my favorite superfood.

Put panko in a shallow bowl.  Coat each slice in panko.  
Place breaded slices on oiled baking sheet.  Bake 16 minutes at 425.  Flipping halfway through.

I was first introduced to avocado fries at my favorite little Mexican restaurant.  They serve perfectly browned, deep fried, panko crusted avocado slices as an appetizer alongside crispy tortilla rounds.  They're just about the only deep fried fruit that I can see myself eating.  I dare say that my baked (healthier) avocado fries are even better than the original deep fried version.  You NEED these avocado fries in your life - trust me.  

​Ciao!

I have to try these. They would also be a great way to use avocados that are getting a little too ripe. [Of course you don't have that problem in your house.]
