Hello, crispy baked avocado fries, with 5 ingredients and magical addictive properties…
Crispy Avocado Fries
Did I mention their magical addictive properties?
Okay good; that means you’ve been warned.
When you slice up avocado, slather it in breadcrumbs, and bake until crispy, how could it not be magically addictive?
Not to mention, these are healthy french fries – They’re high in fiber, protein, and vitamins, with very little saturated fat.

The baked avocado fries are yet another recipe I came up with out of necessity.
Every time avocados go on sale at the grocery store, I am lured into buying extras, which almost always means I find myself scrambling to eat them all before they go bad.
Throwing out food is something I try as hard as possible to never do.
As soon as I tasted the first batch of homemade avocado fries, I immediately went back to the store to buy even more avocados.
And thus, the cycle began again…
For a delicious and vegan healthy meal, try them with these Sweet Potato Burgers or this Veggie Burger Recipe.
The fries were adapted from my Crispy Healthy Baked Zucchini Fries.
For a larger batch of avocado french fries, you can easily double or triple the recipe below.
Crispy Baked Avocado Fries
Ingredients
- 2 large or 4 small avocados, peeled and sliced
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup flour, such as garbanzo flour
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1 cup breadcrumbs, gf if desired (Or make your own by processing toasted bread in a food processor) (40g)
Instructions
- For a larger batch, feel free to double the recipe! Preheat oven to 420 F. Grease a baking sheet, and set aside. Combine the garlic, salt, and flour in a shallow dish. Add the milk to a separate shallow dish. Coat each avocado slice in flour, then dip in the milk. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over each slice, pressing down lightly until the crumbs stick. Place on the baking tray. Bake 15-18 minutes, or until golden. Store leftovers in the fridge 2-3 days. If you try them, be sure to leave a review!View Nutrition Facts

So good. One restaurant in Philly has avocado fries on the menu and they are so good. I have been wanting to recreate them.

Ooo yummm!! Avocado is SO addicting, it’s true. Not mad about it! 😉 Cannot wait to make these fries because I have a perfectly ripe avocado on my counter just calling my name!
Monika says
Can’t wait to try this…looks delicious! One question though…what kind of dipping sauce would you recommend?
Chocolate Covered Katie says
My new obsession is mixing together tahini and ketchup. But really, anything you’d put on french fries will also be good here. 🙂
Jenn says
We used Aldi’s Chipotle Ranch Dressing and Original Hot Sauce!
Jason Sanford says
That is gorgeous!

Homemade ranch dressing using yogurt!
Stephanie @ Being Thrifty Makes Cents says
I love avocados! I am definitely going to have to make this sometime!
[email protected] a Dash of Cinnamon says
Oh yum! I have the same problem with avocado but I found that they do pretty well in the freezer as long as you are then smashing/blending etc them into a recipe!
Sarah says
Hi, Katie! those look so yummy!
I have found that avocados keep in the fridge – I buy them in various stages of “ripe enough”, leave them on the counter until they are ready, then store them in the fridge until I need them.
Wendy says
Now these are just ridiculous (in a wonderful way)! Just made a batch, using almond flour instead of breadcrumbs. Great recipe, thanks!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Thank you so much for making them… and for experimenting with almond flour! Happy to know it works! 🙂
Alicia says
Hey Katie,
I made these last night and would love to feature on my blog. Would that be okay? I will absolutely mention and link to your site! Please let me know
Chocolate Covered Katie says
Of course! I am always honored when someone wants to share. Because google penalizes both sites if duplicate content is found, I only ask that recipes be linked to instead of reposted. But I’m always happy if someone wants to use any of the photos from my site 🙂
Sarah | Well and Full says
I LOVE avocado fries, especially with a crispy coating! You’re right, they are addictive!
Nina says
Thank you CCK. These were delicious and satisfied my craving for fries.
Linda says
I made the avocado fries and instead of breadcrumbs I used Almond meal. They had a tasty nifty flavor.
Sara G says
Hi Katie, I have to say that I absolutely love avocado and I tried your recipe this weekend – unbelievable! Even my kids agreed to try it with some ketchup. Thanks for that.
Kara says
Do the avocados need to be ripe? Or would harder ones work since they will be baked? Thanks for any info!
Chocolate Covered Katie says
I would recommend ripe-but-not-overripe avocados. You want them firm but not rock hard. They should have a little softness when you press on them. But definitely not smushy. Not sure if that is a real word… 😕
Katie says
Thank you Katie for everything you do for this website! My husband and I super appreciate it and are very excited to try even more of your recipes.
You rock! <3
Lucy K says
My boyfriend, his daughter and I love avocados. He makes a mean guac, and I know how to pick perfect avocados (wish I could do the same for melons…sigh). I’m going to try the fries above.
For fellow ‘cado lovers, check out OXO’s “3 in 1 Avocado Slicer”. I’m cheap, so spending $10 on a gadget is not something I ever do. However, this works so well, I bought one for my boyfriend’s brother as well. It’s also much safer and more effective when removing the pit. No, I don’t work for OXO. I just love this product.

Love your recipe for the granola cups and avocado fries just spent my morning making these beautiful recipes! Thank you so much!!
Sana says
So glad I found your website. I am trying to breastfeed my daughter who allergic to dairy and soy. Thank you so much for your recipes.
Lindsey says
These are great. I just polished off a whole avocado. So yummy.
Gail says
Just made these to use up a few avocados. These are delicious! Even my husband liked them and he “says” he doesn’t like avocados. Thanks so much for another great recipe!
Thema says
This recipe sounds great! Does the flour not wash off when you dip the avocado in the milk though?
Christine says
I’m not sure what happened, but these turned out awful– incredibly bitter and the bread crumbs never toasted up (I even sprayed them with olive oil at the end to try to help toast them, but nothing). I followed he recipe to a T– Don’t know what I did wrong 🙁
Julie Dove says
Sounds like maybe one of the ingredients used was rancid or maybe the avocado was? I’ve made these many times always delicious! Definitely worth another try!
Shanasy says
Thanks Katie! Great idea and I love how quick it is to make.

Made it today… it was mind blowing awesome….
Annie says
Kia ora from New Zealand, we grow some great avocados here, so I gave this recipe a shot, and, yes, these are fabulous, we will definitely make these again, multiple times whenever we have avocados!!!! Thank you so much for this recipe, it’s not something I would expect to find!!
Valerie says
I wonder how well these keep? Do they get brown as with all avocado that turns brown soon after peeling it? You can slow it down by adding lime juice, which this recipe does not use, but it still only lasts so long in the frig.
Thanks, Valerie
Jason Sanford says
Probably best the day they’re made.
Katt says
Made these today my three year old lloves avavados I added some paramasan cheese and it gave them a very satisfying crunch
Vicky East says

This was amazing!! I added bacon bits to my breading mixture and served with jalapeno ranch…loved by all!
Spire says
Really appreciate your efforts to reduce food waste. And for the logic behind your tasty recipes! I notice you said “Throwing out food is something I try as hard as possible to never do.” I like to ask people if they can help compost their food scraps which are a “resource”. Every bit of organic matter needs to go back to the land to feed the microbes in our soil. There are over one 10 billion microbes in one teaspoon of soil than there are people on the planet. They need a diversity of food, just as the billions of microbes in our gut need food to choose from. We need to not put organic matter (food waste) into plastic trash sacks, but rather get it back to the earth so the earth is enabled with food to function.
Laura Hofferman says
I just made these and they are cooking in the oven. They look sooo yummy! Can’t wait to try them especially because i have an addiction to avocados!
elizabeth says
great recipe!
Veronica says
Could I use almond flour or coconut flour instead of the garbanzo flour? I’ve never heard of garbanzo flour and I doubt my store carries it.
Eileen says
Hey, what is the flour and milk for? Because I just rolled the avocado in the bread crumbs with a little pressure to make the breadcrumbs stick. And they did! But is there another reason to use the flour/milk? Thanks.
Danielle says
These were so yummy! I made them as written and thought they were good; I dipped them in fry sauce and they were amazing! Thanks for a great recipe.
Carol says
These avocado fries are really, really good. I’m just beginning my keto journey and normally hated avocados. This recipe turned me into an avocado lover; so thanks Katie!
Georgina says
Hi Katie, I really enjoy your recipes. I am currently in Lebanon where my parents live and we have an avocado tree with tons of avocado. My mom begged me to find other ways to use it. So, I just made these fries and the crunch and flavor of the breading is amazing however, the avocados taste soooo bitter. Why is that? I read online that avocados become bitter once cooked but that doesn’t make sense since it hasn’t happened to you. Maybe it is the type of avocado? I am so sad :/
Thank you for your recipes though 🙂
Paul says
Anyone tried making these in an air-fryer? I’m guessing it will work. If so how long and at what temp?
Paul says
BTW someone mentioned applying a little olive oil. The oven temperature is in the smoke-point range for olive oil, so I’d recommend using another higher smoke-point oil, such as Avocado oil!!! 🙂
Matt says
This recipe is incredible! I’ve wanted to make avocado fries for years but thought it would be too hard. This has converted me.
