Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted, and sliced into wedges

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko recommended for extra crunch)

1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 large egg

1 tablespoon water

Cooking spray (for greasing the air fryer basket)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This should take about 5 minutes while you prepare the avocado fries.

    Prepare the Avocados: Carefully slice each avocado half into six wedges. Using a spoon, gently scoop the wedges out without breaking them. Set them aside on a plate.

      Make the Breading Mixture: In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if using), and a dash of salt and pepper. Stir well to ensure that all ingredients are evenly combined.

        Prepare the Egg Wash: In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg together with the water until the mixture is frothy and well combined.

          Bread the Avocado Wedges: Take each avocado wedge and dip it into the egg wash, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Next, place the wedge into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Repeat this process until all wedges are breaded.

            Arrange in the Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the avocado fries in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. You may need to work in batches if your basket is small.

              Air Fry the Avocado Fries: Lightly spray the tops of the breaded avocado fries with cooking spray. Air fry them for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy. Be sure to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.

                Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the avocado fries from the air fryer. Serve them immediately while hot, garnished with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese if desired. For an added treat, pair with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, spicy mayo, or a zesty lime crema.
