📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the Sauce
2
Whisk together all sauce ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let rest at room temperature while preparing avocado fries (no more than ⏱️ 1 hour).

3
For the Avocado Fries (Frying Instructions)
4

ground cumin1 tspchili powder1 tspsalt, (then more to taste)1 tsp
5

6
Then to a third shallow shallow dish add panko breadcrumbs.
7
Set a baking sheet to the side (for the breaded avocado slices). Line a second baking sheet with two layers of paper towels (for deep fried avocados), and set aside.
8
Heat vegetable oil in a 4-quart saute pan or a pot to 360 degrees.
vegetable oil, (or vegetable oil cooking spray if using baking option)2 cups
9
Cut avocados in half (cutting in the center of the avocado from top to bottom). Remove the pit and peel each. Then slice the halves into 1/2-inch thick slices which should be 10 slices per each avocado.
10
Working with about 5 avocado slices at a time dredge each into flour to coat boat sides entirely, shake or tap excess off.
11
Transfer to egg mixture, turn to coat well (I found turning to coat both sides twice worked best). Lift and let excess egg run off.
12
Transfer to panko then turn and coat, while pressing panko to adhere well on both sides. Transfer to the unlined baking sheet and repeat process to coat all slices.
13
Carefully add half the avocado slices to the preheated oil (10) then fry until golden brown on bottom, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Turn and fry until golden brown on opposite side, about ⏱️ 1 minute longer.
14
Remove slices with tongs or a spider skimmer and let excess oil drip back into pan. Transfer to paper towel lined baking sheet to drain. Season with a little salt to taste.
salt, (then more to taste)1 tsp
15
Repeat process with remaining avocado slices. Serve warm with dipping sauce.
