When I first heard about avocado fries, I pictured potatoes fried in avocado oil. Nope! These are actual avocado wedges—breaded, baked, and begging to be dipped. Think of them as the “healthy comfort food” you didn’t know you needed.

Why You’ll Love Them
Seriously, they’re the kind of snack that disappears as fast as you pull them from the oven. Enjoy these by themselves or make alongside a great main dish, like anything off the grill from my cookout recipes. You could even use them as the ‘meaty’ part of your next taco. They are equal parts creamy and crunchy.
- Crispy without deep-frying
- Loaded with healthy fats and fiber
- Snack-able, dip-able, and taco-worthy
Ingredients You’ll Need
While you may not have fried these green beauties before, they follow the same basic components as dishes like vegan chicken nuggets with some kind of flour, something wet to bind them and spices.
- All-purpose flour: The flour and spices make up the breading. Feel free to use the flour of your choice.
- Spices: I use a blend of sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and cayenne pepper to flavor the breading. Omit the cayenne for a less spicy version.
- Plant milk: Unsweetened almond milk was my go-to for this recipe, yet feel free to use the non-dairy milk you prefer.
- Panko breadcrumbs: For a truly crispy snack, panko breadcrumbs deliver the best crunch.
- Avocado oil: This high-heat oil also helps to create a crunchy outcome.
- Avocados: The main event! This gorgeous, healthy-fat fruit is deliciously snack-able.

Jen’s Free Soup Challenge
I’d love for you to soup it up with me! For 5 days, I’ll send you a daily veggie-packed soup that’s easy enough for a busy weeknight and makes enough to freeze and pull out all winter.
Ingredient Swaps
- Gluten-free? Sub your favorite GF flour + GF breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.
- No avocado oil? Use another high-heat oil like grapeseed or sunflower.
- No spice fan? Skip the cayenne—still delicious!
How to Make Avocado Fries
To make this fun plant-based snack, you need three bowls to get that crispy texture.
- Grab three bowls, one for the flour and spice mixture, one for plant milk and one for breadcrumbs and avocado oil.
- Peel and slice the avocados into nice wedges. Know that the amount of wedges you end up with depends on the size of your avocados.
- Dip each avocado wedge in the flour mixture (coat completely), then dunk in the plant milk. Finally, roll through the breadcrumb mixture. Each wedge should be completely coated on all sides.
- Bake the avocado fries in the oven until they are golden brown on all sides.
Air Fryer Tip
If you prefer to use an air fryer, cook at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, carefully flipping halfway.
They are great as the ‘meat’ in a taco, a side dish to veggie burgers or a fun appetizer to bring to the party. Or just eat them as a snack on your own and enjoy them all to yourself.
Yes! My avocado fries are baked in the oven, yet I also included air fryer directions as well, for the ultimate crispy snack. Feel free to traditionally fry them if you want.
Easy! Just swap out the all-purpose flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour, and swap the panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free bread crumbs or crumbled gluten-free crackers.
Recipe Card
Crispy Avocado Fries with Chipotle Ranch
Ingredients
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, unrefined
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 avocado
Chipotle Ranch Dressing
- ¾ cup raw cashews soaked at least 20 minutes
- 2 tablespoon lime juiced
- 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo canned
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin ground
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon fresh dill
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt, unrefined to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ground ground, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and cayenne in a shallow bowl. Pour the nondairy milk into a second bowl. Combine the panko and avocado oil in a third bowl.
- Peel and pit the avocados and cut each into 8 wedges.
- Dip each wedge in the flour mixture, then the milk, then the breadcrumbs, gently pressing so the crumbs adhere. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve with the chipotle ranch dressing.
Chipotle Ranch Dressing
- Soak the cashews in water for at least 20 minutes. Drain and rinse.
- Blend the cashews with the lime juice, chipotle peppers, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, salt and pepper until creamy, adding a little water as needed.
Recipe Notes
- Ripeness Tip: Use ripe but slightly firm avocados; very soft ones turn mushy and are hard to coat. Here’s how to cut an avocado cleanly.
- Gluten-Free: To make this gluten-free, use gluten-free flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Air Fryer Method: Cook the coated wedges at 400 °F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
- Storing: The fries are best right out of the oven. Store the chipotle ranch in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.
