Baked Vegan Avocado Fries. Ripe, sliced avocado is tossed in a flavorful bread crumb mixture and baked until golden brown and crispy. These healthy fries make the perfect appetizer dipped in my Smokey Tangy Avocado Dip.
Hey guys! How are you doing?! I have a few behind-the-scenes projects in the works and I cannot wait to share them with you. I am so excited to start reaching out to more of you in person at a few events I am planning as well as through other mediums (to reach those not living close-by to Toronto) where we can share ideas, talk about cooking and food (obv) and build community. I can’t wait to share my upcoming projects with you and hear your feedback. Stay tuned for more to come!
But first, let’s talk about these SUPER Cripsy Vegan Avocado Fries. My avocado obsession–addiction continues guys. Can you really blame me? I mean HELLO… ⇓⇓⇓
Who loves when their avocados are the perfect amount of ripe?! You know the time leading up to when you are waiting for your avocados to ripen and then all of the sudden they are PERFECT and you want need to put avocados in everything (or just eat them straight-up with a spoon). And what do you do when your fruit bowl full of avocados all ripen at the same time?!
Make Crispy and Golden Brown Vegan Avocado Fries, of course. I think I almost cried of joy when I dipped these Baked Avocado Fries in my Smokey Avocado Dip.
Crispy Avocado Fries + Smokey Creamy Avocado Dip = a little piece of heaven. Seriously.
I have a hunch that these fries would be perfect in tacos, burritos and in a taco salad bowl. If you make these Vegan Avocado Fries at home, snap a photo and tag me #CearasKitchen on Instagram or leave a comment below – it makes my day hearing from all of you!
- 3 large avocados (or 5-6 small avocados)
- 1½ tbsp ground chia or flax seed
- 4 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 3 splashes hot sauce
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp
chilli powder (optional) - ½ tsp sea salt
- Pinch pepper
- Hot pepper flakes
- Cooking spray
- 1 avocado
- ¼ cup cilantro
- 1 tsp vinegar (apple cider or white vinegar)
- 3 tsp lime juice
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- Preheat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix together ground chia seeds, lime juice, water and hot sauce in a small bowl. Leave to sit while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Mix together panko, flour, smoked paprika, garlic and onion powder,
chilli powder (optional), sea salt and pepper in a medium size bowl. - Slice avocado in half. Make 4-5 slices lengthwise on each side of the avocado. Carefully scoop out the avocado with a spoon.
- Give the
eggy mixture a stir. Dip each slice of avocadoin theeggy mixture and then in the breadcrumbs, making sure to coat each avocado slice fully with the breadcrumb mixture. Add water, by the teaspoon, to theeggy mixture if it gets too thick. - Lay each breaded avocado slice on the baking sheet until all your avocado is used up. Leave about ¼ inch between each avocado slice (if they are too close together, the avocado fries will not be as crispy).
- Spray avocado fries with cooking spray and sprinkle with hot pepper flakes.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes until the avocado fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Place all the avocado dip ingredients (avocado through to onion powder) in a blender. Blend until creamy smooth. Taste test and add sea salt, pepper and hot sauce to taste.
2) Do not use cooking spray if you want this recipe to be oil-free.

I eat avocado every single day! Love the richness and creaminess of this wonder fruit 🙂 Had only savoury version before, but it was long time ago.
We ended needing twice of the egg mixture so plan accordingly! Otherwise, totally delicious.
I tried them tonight with dinner. FABULOUS. I can’t wait to have them again. Thank you for sharing.
Avocado fries dipped into an avocado dip sounds like a dream! I’ve never had avocado fries before but I’ve always been intrigued by them and really don’t think any recipe with avocados could be bad, haha! These sound amazing 🙂
Haven’t tried yet, but this sounds fabulously delicious. What a good idea to use those avocados, when you have a bunch ripening at the same time.
Thank you so much, Veronika!! 🙂 Enjoy!!
Would the coating work if i used ground/chopped seeds and nuts instead of breadcrumbs?
Now this sounds like the perfect party food! I love the smoked paprika in there <3
