Why You Should Use an Air Fryer for Avocado Fries?
For one, it’s faster and less messy than frying or baking. In addition, it’s healthier too, since you don’t need a lot of fat to crisp them up. It’s also very convenient if you’re making smaller servings since you won’t have to heat up the oven or take out a frying pan to make this dish. If you want to make a big serving, simply air-fry in batches.

How to make Air Fryer Avocado Fries

How to store leftovers?
After they’ve cooled down, place in a single layer inside an air-tight container. You can keep this chilled for up to 3 days, but for the best texture, we highly suggest finishing them ASAP.
Can you reheat them?
Yes, but do note that they won’t be as crunchy as freshly air-fried. To reheat, you can air-fry or bake them at 370F for a couple of minutes until hot and crisped up. We’re using a lower heat so they don’t burn and are able to warm up completely.
Recipe tips:
- You can also use this method for other vegetables like zucchini or sweet potatoes. Just add or subtract more minutes depending on the veggie.
- Since this breading has three layers, it’s important to organize your bowls. This will make it easier to coat each piece without making a big mess.
- Try other seasonings! These are delicious with Cajun seasoning, some cayenne for heat, Taco seasoning, dry ranch powder, lemon salt, seasoned bread crumbs, Old Bay, or parmesan.
