Avocado Fries
Ingredients
- Oil (for frying)
- 2 Avocados
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 1 and 1/3 Cup Bread Crumbs
- 1 Teaspoon Lemon Pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Cumin
Directions
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, lemon pepper, salt and cumin. Set it aside.
- Cut the avocados in half and then slice them vertically into 4 inch by 1 inch wedges. Set them aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil to 335 degrees Fahrenheit in a large frying pan, adding enough oil so that the oil is about 3 to four inches deep.
- Dredge the avocado slices in the breadcrumb mixture, then in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumb mixture again.
- Place the slices in the hot oil and fry them for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove the slices with a slotted spoon or tongs, and set them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
- Allow the slices to dry for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a serving tray and serve them immediately with the Cilantro Lemon Dipping Sauce.
