Ingredients
- 2 large avocados* peeled, pitted, cut into 8 slices each
- ⅓ cup tapioca starch*
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp. almond milk
- 1 ½ cups Beanito's tortilla chips* or any other tortilla chips, finely crushed
- ¾ tsp. cumin
- ⅛ tsp. cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp. paprika
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- ½ tsp. salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-
Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit and skin, and then slice the avocados into 8 slices.
-
Place tapioca starch, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper into one bowl and mix until well combined.
-
Place egg and milk in another bowl and whisk until combined.
-
Put crushed chips, cumin, paprika, ¼ teaspoon pepper and ½ teaspoon salt in a third bowl and toss until mixed.
-
First coat avocado slices in tapioca starch bowl, then egg wash, and then coat each slice with the tortilla chip mixture. Do this until all avocado slices are used.
-
Place coated avocado slices on a parchment paper-lined baking dish. Spritz each slice with non-stick cooking spray.
-
Bake avocado fries for 10-12 minutes. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- Select avocados that are still firm to the touch and not fully ripened for best results.
- You can also use arrowroot starch or corn starch in place of the tapioca starch.
- If you cannot find Beanito's chips, no worries! Try to find a more fragile tortilla chip (like Santita's or Xochitl) instead of a really sturdy chip. This will ensure your coating gets finely crushed and will coat the avocado slices easily.
