Ingredients

  • For the Fries:

    • 2 ripe avocados
    • 1 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour for non-keto)
    • 2 large eggs, whisked
    • 1 cup pork rinds, crushed (or panko breadcrumbs for non-keto)
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Olive oil or avocado oil spray
  • For the Lime Crema Dipping Sauce:

    • 1/2 cup sour cream
    • Juice of half a lime
    • Optional: paprika or chili powder for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados:

    • Slice each avocado in half and remove the pit.
    • Cut into 8 wedges, carefully peel off the skin, and set aside.
  2. Make the Pork Rind Breadcrumbs:

    • Place pork rinds in a blender and pulse until they resemble panko breadcrumbs.
    • Transfer to a large bowl for breading.
  3. Set Up Dredging Stations:

    • In one bowl, combine almond flour and seasonings.
    • In the second bowl, add the whisked eggs.
    • Fill the third bowl with the crushed pork rinds.
  4. Dredge the Avocado Wedges:

    • Dip each avocado wedge first in the almond flour, then in the eggs, and finally in the pork rind crumbs.
    • Place on a baking sheet until all wedges are breaded.
  5. Bake:

    • Lightly spray the breaded avocados with olive oil.
    • Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Prepare the Dipping Sauce:

    • While the fries bake, mix the sour cream and lime juice in a small bowl.
    • Adjust seasoning as desired and set aside.

Tips for Perfect Avocado Fries

  • Choosing Avocados: For best results, select avocados that are firm yet slightly soft. This ensures they can hold their shape while being sliced.
  • Dredging Tips: Ensure each wedge is fully coated in the breading for the crispiest result.

Don’t Have a Cast Iron Sheet Pan?

No worries! Use a standard baking sheet lined with parchment paper or an air fryer. You can even use any cast iron skillet if that’s what you have.

What to Serve with Avocado Fries

These fries pair wonderfully with:

  • Fresh salsa or pico de gallo
  • Keto-friendly dips like guacamole
  • Spicy aioli or ranch dressing

Enjoy this low-carb delight that’s both crispy and creamy, making it a perfect snack or side dish!
