The chipotle dipping sauce is a must! It adds so much flavor. And the entire recipe takes just 30 minutes to make. I came across the idea for this recipe on Pinterest. There were numerous photos and recipes that looked really good, and I was suspicious and intrigued at the same time. Avocado + oven = tasty? To be honest, I was more than a bit skeptical.
Ingredients
You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make these avocado fries. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need: So I developed my own version, and I’m sure glad that I did! This recipe is so good that I’ve been making it almost every week per my family’s request.
For the fries:
Avocado oil spray: This neutral-tasting oil has a high smoke point, making it ideal for baking. Haas avocado: This variety is creamier and tastier than other varieties. I highly recommend it. Try to pick an avocado that’s just ripe for this recipe. Not hard, but also not very soft. You want it to retain its shape while baking. Almond meal: It’s OK to use blanched almond flour if that’s all you have. And if you don’t mind the carbs/gluten, you can use breadcrumbs. To season: Kosher salt, garlic granules, and chili powder. Egg: I use one large egg. For the dipping sauce: Mayonnaise, sour cream, and chipotle hot pepper sauce.
Instructions
Expert tip
The dipping sauce is non-negotiable! It’s not that the fries are not good without it. But they are AMAZING with it. You start by cutting the avocado into wedges and peeling it. Next, dip the wedges in egg and dredge them in seasoned almond meal. Bake the fries until golden. This should take about 15 minutes in a 450°F oven. If your pepper sauce is not very spicy, you might want to use more of it. Taste and decide for yourself. I may also add that it’s best to use a pepper sauce that’s not very vinegary. You want the first ingredient to be peppers, not vinegar.

Serving suggestions
I serve these tasty fries as an appetizer or a snack. They are obviously great for game day! And they also make a wonderful appetizer for Mexican-themed meals such as chicken fajitas and steak fajitas.
Storing leftovers
You can’t keep the leftovers, unfortunately. The avocado won’t survive for very long. This is one of those recipes that are best enjoyed warm and freshly made. So it’s best to only make as much as you anticipate eating right away.
