Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces slightly firm avocados Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- 3 pieces eggs These will act as the binder.
- 1/2 cup flour Can substitute with chickpea or rice flour for gluten-free.
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs For a lighter, airier texture.
Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning Feel free to substitute with favorite herbs.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh minced garlic can be used for a stronger flavor.
- 1 teaspoon salt Essential for enhancing flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice the avocados in half lengthwise, carefully remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh.
- Cut each half into equal wedges, about 6 to 8 wedges per avocado.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs until combined.
- In another dish, place the flour.
- In a third dish, combine the panko, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.
Breading
- Dip each avocado wedge into the flour, tapping off excess, then into the beaten egg, and finally into the panko mixture for even coating.
- Repeat until all wedges are breaded.
Cooking
- Arrange the coated avocado wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray with olive oil.
- Set air fryer to 360°F (180°C) and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
Notes
Serve with lime dipping sauce, spicy chipotle mayo, or make a colorful salad. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or frozen, but texture may change.
