Time to meet your new favorite dipper of choice! Usually avos are the dip, but in this tasty plot twist they become the dipper. Did you have that on your bingo card?
Easy to make in an oven or air fryer.
Ingredients
- 3 avocados, refrigerated for about an hour before cutting to preserve consistency
- 1 cup chickpea flour, divided
- ½ cup water
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp white miso
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- Pinch of cayenne
- Pinch of ground cumin
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Oil to coat air fryer basket (if using air fryer)
- 1 cup mayonnaise – regular or vegan
- Hot sauce to taste – we like kimchi sriracha
Directions
- Preheat oven/air fryer to 425°. If using an oven, line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix mayo and hot sauce to taste and set aside in fridge.
- Slice avocadoes in half. Remove pits and slice each half into quarters. Remove skin and slice each piece in half again. (This way each avocado will yield about 16 pieces.)
- In a small bowl, add miso to water and dissolve as completely as possible. Combine ¼ cup chickpea flour with water – it should be like pancake batter, not too thin.
- In another bowl, add garlic powder, salt, smoked paprika, cayenne and cumin to remaining chickpea flour. Whisk to combine.
- Put breadcrumbs in a third bowl. If using an air fryer, spray tray/basket with oil.
- Put one avocado slice in chickpea flour, then lightly onto a fork and into the batter. Make sure the slice is completely covered – the curvy part may take a little more effort. Lift the slice out of the batter and turn it side to side so excess drips off.
- Lower slice into breadcrumbs so it’s covered. Press gently so breadcrumbs stick to the slice and place it on the sheet pan or into air fryer tray/basket. Repeat with remaining slices and place next to each other with about an inch of space in between.
- If using an oven, bake avocado fries 15 minutes and then flip over to bake another 15 minutes or until golden brown. If using an air fryer, fry for about 12-14 minutes and then check for golden brown doneness. Fries should feel crispy when done, not soggy.
- Serve with mayo/hot sauce combo for dipping.
