Avocado Fries Recipe

Updated on August 27th, 2025

Avocado fries are a fun twist on a classic appetizer, and they’re a great way to serve something different at a party or even just for a snack at home. Firm, ripe avocados are sliced into wedges, coated in flour, egg, and Panko breadcrumbs, and then quickly fried until the outside is golden and crisp. The breading gives each bite a crunchy texture that pairs perfectly with the creamy avocado inside. What makes this recipe even better is the cilantro ranch dipping sauce, which adds freshness and tang that balances out the richness of the fried avocado.

Why this recipe works

• Crispy and creamy contrast: The Panko breadcrumbs give the fries a light crunch while the avocado stays soft and smooth inside.
• Quick cooking time: Because the avocado only needs 30–60 seconds to fry, it stays fresh and doesn’t lose its texture.
• Flavorful dipping sauce: The cilantro ranch sauce combines yogurt, ranch dressing, and lemon juice for a dip that’s tangy, fresh, and a little herby.
• Simple but impressive: The recipe uses everyday ingredients but results in an appetizer that feels unique and stands out from the usual party snacks.
• Customizable finish: A sprinkle of parmesan cheese adds extra flavor, or you can switch up the dip to match what you like.

Serving suggestions

• Party appetizer: Serve the fries hot with the cilantro ranch dipping sauce in the center of a platter for easy sharing.
• Side dish option: Pair them with burgers, grilled chicken, or sandwiches as a crispy side that’s more exciting than regular fries.
• Snack idea: Enjoy them on their own as a quick and flavorful snack straight from the fryer.
• Mix up the dips: Try them with spicy mayo, chipotle sauce, or even guacamole for a different flavor combination.
• Fresh pairing: Serve alongside a light salad or fresh fruit to balance out the richness of the fried avocado.

Instructions

1. In a small bowl combine yogurt, a pinch sea salt, lemon juice, cilantro, and ranch dressing. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
2. Add 1 ½ inch of oil in a medium saucepan and heat the oil until it reaches 375 degrees. You can also use a deep fryer for this. While the oil is heating, in a shallow plate or pie dish mix flour with a ½ teaspoon of salt. In another shallow plate, add the Panko bread crumbs, and in an additional shallow plate, add the eggs.
3. Sprinkle avocado slices with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt. Roll each avocado slice first in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and roll in the Panko breadcrumbs to coat. Place onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Add avocado slices to the hot oil in the saucepan or deep fryer and fry in batches at 375 degrees until golden brown (this should only take about 30-60 seconds). Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese if desired and serve with cilantro ranch dipping sauce.
