-
Clip a fry thermometer onto a medium heavy bottomed saucepan and heat oil to 375 degrees F
-
While the oil heats, halve, peel, and slice the avocados into long spears; it’s okay if the size varies slightly.
-
In a small bowl, beat together eggs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and cayenne pepper.
-
In a medium bowl, measure out panko crumbs.
-
Set out a clean plate for coated slices.
-
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F and prepare a pan with paper towels.
-
Keep an eye on your oil.
-
If it’s reached 375 degrees turn to low.
-
Using one hand and keeping the other hand clean, dip avocado slices in egg, lightly coat in flour mixture, and then coat in bread crumbs.
-
The fries don’t need a heavy coating-lightly coated is ideal.
-
Place on a plate until all avocado slices are dipped and ready for frying.
-
Using tongs, lower 6-8 avocado slices into the hot oil.
-
Fry until golden brown. Remove from oil and place on lined baking sheet.
-
Sprinkle with a bit of salt, and place in the oven to stay warm.
-
Bring the oil back up to 375 degrees before frying the next batch.
-
Continue frying until all avocado slices are golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with a dash of cayenne pepper and fresh lemon juice.
-
Serve immediately.
