Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

½ cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Optional: lime wedges and fresh cilantro for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Slice each half into wedges, about ½ inch thick. Set aside.

      Set Up Breading Station: In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, whisk the eggs in the second bowl, and combine the panko, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

        Bread the Avocado Wedges: Dredge each avocado wedge in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.

          Arrange and Spray: Place the breaded avocado fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or olive oil for an extra crisp finish.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through to ensure even baking.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with lime wedges and chopped fresh cilantro for an extra flavor boost.
