Bake them into fries
The mighty avocado joins forces with bread crumbs, garlic, chili powder, and a tasty dipping sauce to create the best-tasting baked fries you’ll ever lay your tongue on.
Ingredients
- 4 avocados – pits removed and cut into slices
- ½ cup flour
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 ¼ cups bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Sauce
- ⅓ cup mayo
- ⅓ cup sour cream – or plain greek yogurt
- juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons cilantro – chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 and grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Add flour to a zip lock bag. Add avocado slices, seal, and shake to coat avocados in flour.
- Remove avocados from the bag and discard the bag with excess flour.
- In a small bowl whisk together eggs and water. In a separate bowl whisk together bread crumbs, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt.
- Dip flour-coated avocado slices into the egg wash. Next, toss them into the crumb mixture being sure to coat well.
- Place coated avocados in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and spray generously with cooking spray. Bake for 10-15 minutes until crispy and browned.
- While avocado fries and baking, blend all sauce ingredients together. Serve avocado fries warm with dipping sauce. Enjoy!
Sip the pit
If you typically eat the avocado’s tasty green meat but throw away its giant seed you’re missing out on chances to amp up your weight loss burn! The pit is filled with four nutrients that have been shown to support fitness recovery and weight loss: calcium, soluble fiber, magnesium, and potassium. To reap the benefits, add large chunks of a chopped avocado pit to a tea infuser (a pulverized seed will seep out through the holes). Toss the infuser into a mug and then pour boiling water over it. Because avocado seeds are on the bitter side, you may need to add a bit of sweetener or honey to make your weight-loss tea more palatable.
