Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
2 tablespoons black and/or white sesame seeds
2 large, just ripe avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced ½” thick
Olive oil cooking spray
2 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon (or more) water
Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Pour flour into a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs until blended. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, everything bagel seasoning, and sesame seeds.
Step 2: Dip each avocado slice into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip into the beaten eggs, followed by the panko mixture, pressing gently to make it adhere well. Place coated slices on a plate.
Step 3: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray. Arrange the avocado slices in a single layer with about 1/4 inch between them. Spray the tops with cooking spray.
Step 4: Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying again with cooking spray. Cook in batches if needed, cleaning out any leftover breading between batches.
Step 5: In a small heatproof bowl, microwave the cream cheese on high for about 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Stir in water, adding more if needed, to reach a drizzleable consistency.
Step 6: Drizzle the melted cream cheese over the avocado fries and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Tips & Variations

Use ripe but firm avocados to ensure the slices hold their shape during cooking.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the panko mixture.
If you don’t have everything bagel seasoning, mix sesame seeds, dried onion, garlic flakes, poppy seeds, and salt as a substitute.
Serve with a dash of hot sauce or a creamy dip like ranch for variety.

Storage

Store leftover avocado fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes to maintain crispiness. The fries are best enjoyed fresh as avocado texture changes upon refrigeration.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I bake these instead of air frying?

Yes, you can bake them at 400°F on a greased baking sheet for about 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through. The texture may be slightly less crispy than air frying.

What can I use instead of cream cheese drizzle?

You can substitute with a sour cream dip, Greek yogurt mixed with lime juice, or a simple garlic aioli for a different but tasty accompaniment.

Ingredients

Scale

Breading Mixture

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
2 tablespoons black and/or white sesame seeds

Avocado Fries

2 large, just ripe avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced ½ inch thick
Olive oil cooking spray

Cream Cheese Drizzle

2 oz cream cheese
1 tablespoon (or more) water
Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Prepare Breading Stations: Set up three shallow bowls—one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, everything bagel seasoning, and sesame seeds. This setup will make the breading process smooth and efficient.
Bread the Avocado Slices: Dip each avocado slice first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs. Finally, coat the avocado slices thoroughly with the panko and seasoning mixture, gently pressing to ensure the coating sticks well. Place the coated slices on a plate as you go.
Air Fry the Avocado Fries: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the coated avocado slices in a single layer, spaced about 1/4 inch apart. Spray the top of the avocado fries with cooking spray as well. Air fry at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying again, until they turn golden and crisp. Clean out any leftover breading from the basket between batches to ensure even cooking.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Drizzle: In a small heatproof bowl, microwave the cream cheese on high for about 30 seconds or until melted and smooth. Stir in water, adding a little more if needed, to reach a drizzleable consistency perfect for topping the fries.
Serve: Drizzle the warm avocado fries generously with the melted cream cheese sauce. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.

Notes

Ensure the avocados are just ripe for the best texture; overly ripe avocados may become too soft for breading.
You can substitute the everything bagel seasoning with your favorite seasoning blend if desired.
For crunchier fries, double coat the avocado slices by repeating the egg and breadcrumb step.
Serve the fries immediately after air frying to keep them crisp.
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake them in the oven at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
