Fried avocado: When avocado is fried, it takes on a crispy, golden-brown crust on the outside while remaining creamy and smooth on the inside. The heat of the frying process also intensifies the flavor of the avocado, giving it a rich, nutty taste.
Prepare the Fried Avocado
- Gather the ingredients for the fried avocado. The Spruce / Diana Rattray
- Slice an avocado in half; remove the pit, peel, and slice each half into 4 or 5 strips. The Spruce / Diana Rattray
- Set up a breading station with 3 bowls or containers. To the first bowl add the flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a dash of pepper. Put the beaten eggs in the second bowl and the panko breadcrumbs in the third bowl. The Spruce / Diana Rattray
- Dip an avocado strip in the flour and turn to coat all sides, then coat with the beaten egg. Let excess egg drip off and dip the avocado strip in the panko crumbs, pressing gently to coat. Remove the coated avocado strip to a plate and continue with the remaining strips. The Spruce / Diana Rattray
- Add about 1 inch of vegetable oil to a deep sauté pan or Dutch oven and heat it to 350 F. Add 4 to 6 avocado strips to the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown. The Spruce / Diana Rattray
- Remove the fried avocado strips to a paper towel-lined plate or pan, then repeat with the remaining pieces. The Spruce / Diana Rattray
- Arrange the fried avocado on a small platter or plate with the spicy cilantro-lime mayo. The Spruce / Diana Rattray
- Choose firm avocados for this recipe. They should hold their when sliced, breaded, and fried.
- Use a neutral flavor vegetable oil, such as canola oil, refined high-heat safflower oil, or grapeseed oil.
- Since the avocados are firm, the pit might be more difficult to remove. If so, cut the avocado half with the pit in half again, and remove the pit by hand.
Steps to Make It
