Why You’ll Love This Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries

Ingredients You’ll Need

Alright, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty! To whip up these scrumptious Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries, you’ll need just a handful of ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

2 ripe avocados: The star of the show! Choose avocados that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. They should be creamy and delicious, perfect for frying or baking.
1 cup breadcrumbs: This is what gives our fries that delightful crunch! You can use regular breadcrumbs, panko for extra crispiness, or even gluten-free breadcrumbs if you’re looking for a healthier option.
2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning: This magical blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt is what takes these fries to the next level. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your taste preference—more seasoning means more flavor!
1/2 cup flour: This helps the egg stick to the avocado, creating a perfect coating. You can use all-purpose flour or swap it out for almond flour or coconut flour for a gluten-free version.
2 large eggs: Beaten and ready to help bind everything together. If you’re looking for an egg-free option, you can use a flaxseed meal mixed with water as a substitute.
Salt to taste: A little sprinkle goes a long way! Adjust according to your preference.
Oil for frying: You’ll need this for frying the avocado fries to golden perfection. Canola or vegetable oil works well, but if you want to keep it on the healthier side, consider using an air fryer or baking them instead!

Now, if you’re like me and love to experiment in the kitchen, don’t hesitate to get creative! You can add spices like paprika or cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture for a little kick. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, try using crushed nuts instead of breadcrumbs for a unique twist.

And remember, if you’re looking for a lighter option, baking these fries instead of frying is a fantastic choice. Just pop them in the oven, and you’ll still get that crispy texture without the extra oil. It’s a win-win!

For your convenience, I’ve included printable measurements at the end of this article, so you can easily refer back to them while cooking. Let’s get ready to make some delicious Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries!

How to Make Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries

Now that we’ve gathered all our ingredients, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and get cooking! Making Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries is as easy as pie—well, maybe easier! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a delicious snack ready in no time.

Step 1 – Prep Ingredients

First things first, let’s get that oven preheated! If you’re planning to bake your fries, set your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature is just right for achieving that crispy texture we all love.

Next, grab those ripe avocados. Carefully cut them in half, and remove the pit. I always find this part a bit nerve-wracking—don’t worry, you’re not alone! Just be cautious with your knife. Once the pit is out, slice each half into wedges. Aim for about six wedges per avocado, but feel free to adjust based on your preference. The goal is to have them thick enough to hold up during cooking but thin enough to get that lovely crispiness.

Step 2 – Begin Cooking

Now that our avocados are prepped, it’s time to set up our breading station. This is where the magic happens! You’ll need three bowls for this part:

First bowl: Add the flour. This will help the egg stick to the avocado.
Second bowl: Crack those two large eggs and beat them until they’re nice and frothy. This is what binds everything together.
Third bowl: Combine the breadcrumbs and everything bagel seasoning. Give it a good mix so that every bite is packed with flavor!

Now you’re all set to start breading those avocado wedges. It’s like a little assembly line, and it’s super satisfying!

Step 3 – Combine Ingredients

Time to get our hands a little messy! Take one avocado wedge and dip it into the flour, making sure it’s fully coated. Shake off any excess flour—nobody likes a clumpy fry!

Next, dip the floured wedge into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s well-coated. This step is crucial because it helps the breadcrumbs stick. Finally, roll the wedge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure it adheres well. You want each piece to be fully covered in that delicious everything bagel goodness!

Repeat this process for all the avocado wedges. Lay them out on a plate or a baking sheet as you go. Trust me, the anticipation of frying or baking these beauties is half the fun!

Step 4 – Finish and Serve

Now, let’s get cooking! If you’re frying, heat up some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan, but not so much that it’s swimming. Once the oil is hot (you can test it by dropping in a breadcrumb—if it sizzles, you’re good to go!), carefully add the avocado wedges in batches. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to flip them gently.

If you’re baking, place the coated avocado wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they’re spaced out so they can crisp up nicely. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. You’ll know they’re done when they’re golden and crispy!

Once they’re cooked to perfection, sprinkle a little salt on top to taste. Serve them immediately while they’re still warm and crispy. You can pair them with your favorite dipping sauce—ranch, spicy mayo, or even a tangy yogurt dip work wonders!

And there you have it! Your Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries are ready to be devoured. Enjoy every crispy, flavorful bite!

Tips for Perfect Results

Now that you’re all set to make your Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries, let me share some handy tips to ensure you achieve perfect results every time. These little nuggets of wisdom will help you elevate your snack game and impress your family and friends!

Experiment with different dipping sauces: Don’t be afraid to get creative! While these fries are delicious on their own, pairing them with a variety of dipping sauces can take them to the next level. Try ranch dressing, spicy mayo, or even a zesty yogurt dip. The options are endless, and your taste buds will thank you!
Use a thermometer for frying: If you’re frying your avocado fries, a kitchen thermometer can be your best friend. The ideal oil temperature for frying is around 350°F (175°C). If the oil is too hot, your fries might burn on the outside while remaining soggy inside. If it’s too cool, they’ll absorb too much oil and become greasy. A thermometer helps you hit that sweet spot!
Consider using parchment paper for baking: If you opt for baking your fries, lining your baking sheet with parchment paper is a game-changer. Not only does it prevent sticking, but it also makes cleanup a breeze! Plus, it helps achieve that crispy texture without the hassle of scrubbing the pan afterward. Trust me, your future self will appreciate this little tip!

With these tips in your back pocket, you’re well on your way to making the most delicious Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries. Happy cooking!

Essential Equipment Needed

Before we dive into making our Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries, let’s make sure you have all the essential equipment ready to go. Having the right tools on hand can make the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable. Here’s what you’ll need:

Baking sheet or frying pan: Depending on whether you choose to bake or fry your avocado fries, you’ll need one of these. A baking sheet lined with parchment paper is perfect for baking, while a frying pan is essential for achieving that golden, crispy texture when frying.
Mixing bowls: You’ll need a few bowls to set up your breading station. One for the flour, one for the beaten eggs, and another for the breadcrumb mixture. Having separate bowls helps keep things organized and makes the breading process a breeze!
Knife and cutting board: A sharp knife and a sturdy cutting board are crucial for slicing your avocados. Make sure your knife is sharp enough to cut through the skin without too much effort—safety first!
Tongs or a slotted spoon for frying: If you’re frying your avocado fries, tongs or a slotted spoon will help you flip and remove them from the hot oil safely. They’re also great for transferring the fries to a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

With these essential tools at your disposal, you’re all set to create some mouthwatering Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries. Let’s get cooking!

Delicious Variations of Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries

Now that you’ve mastered the classic Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries, let’s have some fun with variations! Cooking should be an adventure, and these tweaks will keep your taste buds dancing while accommodating different dietary preferences. Here are some delicious ideas to elevate your avocado fries to the next level:

Add spices for an extra kick: If you’re like me and love a little heat, consider adding spices like paprika or garlic powder to your breadcrumb mixture. A teaspoon of smoked paprika can give your fries a delightful smoky flavor, while garlic powder adds a savory punch. Feel free to experiment with your favorite spices—after all, cooking is all about personalizing it to your taste!
Try different types of breading: For those looking for a gluten-free option, crushed nuts can be a fantastic alternative to traditional breadcrumbs. Almonds or pecans, finely chopped, can add a delightful crunch and a nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with the creamy avocado. You can also use crushed cornflakes or gluten-free panko for a crispy texture without the gluten. The possibilities are endless!
Substitute the avocado: If you’re in the mood for something different, why not swap out the avocado for zucchini or eggplant? Both vegetables have a lovely texture that can hold up well to frying or baking. Zucchini fries are a great way to sneak in some extra veggies, while eggplant can add a rich, meaty flavor. Just remember to slice them into similar-sized wedges for even cooking!

These variations not only keep things interesting but also allow you to cater to different dietary needs and preferences. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or hosting a gathering, these tweaks will ensure everyone leaves the table satisfied. So, roll up your sleeves and get creative in the kitchen—your Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries are about to become a whole lot more exciting!

It’s a match made in heaven!
Pair with a fresh salad or vegetable sticks for a balanced snack: To make your snack a bit more wholesome, consider serving your avocado fries alongside a fresh salad.

FAQs About Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries

As you embark on your culinary journey with Everything Bagel Seasoned Avocado Fries, you might have a few questions. Don’t worry; I’ve got you covered! Here are some common queries I’ve encountered, along with concise answers to help you out:

Can I bake these fries instead of frying them? Absolutely! Baking is a fantastic option if you’re looking for a healthier alternative.

What can I use instead of everything bagel seasoning? If you don’t have everything bagel seasoning on hand, no worries! You can create your own blend using equal parts sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Feel free to adjust the ratios based on your taste preferences.
