Frying Ingredients
- Oil for frying (about 1 inch in skillet, vegetable oil preferred)
Avocado
Breading and Seasoning
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Prepare the oil and avocados: In a deep skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Slice each avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and then cut each half into wedges.
- Prepare the breading stations: In a shallow dish, beat the 3 eggs. Place the flour in another shallow dish. In a third shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.
- Coat the avocado wedges: Dip each avocado wedge first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the seasoned panko mixture, pressing gently to coat completely.
- Fry the avocado wedges: Carefully add 4-6 avocado wedges to the hot oil, frying for about 2 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain oil temperature.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fried avocado wedges with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use slightly firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape during frying.
- Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to prevent soggy or overly greasy breading.
- Serve immediately for the best crispiness.
- Italian seasoning can be substituted with any herb blend of choice.
- These can be paired with spicy mayo, ranch, or salsa as dipping sauces.
