Avocado Fries

Avocado Fries

Ingredients:

Canola oil for frying

1/4 cup all purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 1/4 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

2 firm ripe avocados, cut into 1/2 inch wedges

*

Directions:

Pour oil to depth of 1 1/2 inches in a medium saucepan or Dutch oven. Heat to 375 F over medium-high heat.

*

Meanwhile, combine flour and salt in a shallow plate. Put eggs and panko in separate shallow plates. Dip avocado wedges in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in egg, and then dredge in panko to coat.

*

Fry avocado wedges, in batches, 30 to 60 seconds or until golden golden brown, and drain on a baking sheet in a 200 F oven to keep warm while frying remaining wedges. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste.

Makes six servings.
