A few weeks ago I was in a restaurant and saw avocado fries on the menu. I didn't order them, because I figured that the breading or coating wouldn't be low carb. Then the other day I picked up a bag of six avocados (and I've already used two for my Easy Creamy Guacamole!), and felt that it was about time I tried making my own low carb version of the fries. I used the same coating as my recipe for low carb chicken tenders. It added a slightly nutty taste, which worked well with the avocado. In fact, they were completely moreish, and the super simple chipotle dip went perfectly with the fries.

How to Make Avocado Fries
Prepare the avocados by cutting them in half, removing the stone, then using a spoon to scoop out the flesh intact. Cut the avocado into slices and set aside. Grab two bowls, and in the first one beat two eggs together. In the second one, add a combination of almond flour, flaxseed meal, salt, and pepper.
Dip each avocado slice into the egg, then drop it into the almond mixture. Turn to coat it thoroughly, then place it on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the slices.
Bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the coating starts to turn brown. To make the dipping sauce, combine some sour cream with as much chipotle powder as you like. Or you could use smoky paprika if you don't like the heat!
You can serve these low carb avocado fries as a low carb appetizer or snack!

Does this work with avocados that are still a bit hard/under-ripe?

Yes - in fact you don't want them too squishy!

I eat avocado every single day! Love the richness and creaminess of this wonder fruit ???? Had only savoury version before, but it was long time ago.
