Avocado Fries are juicy, flavorful, easy, and healthy. This Baked Avocado Recipe is baked and not fried, but still crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.
If you’re looking for an easy, yummy, and healthy appetizer or side dish to feed your family this weekend, I recommend these fries. These Baked Fried Avocados are fun to make and one of my favorite delicious treats. I like to eat them on their own, dipped in ranch or buffalo sauce, or a mix of both!
How to tell if an avocado is ripe:
- Check the color of the avocado skin: The darker the skin, the riper the avocado. You want an avocado that is deep in color, but not dark brown or black. That would be a sign the avocado has turned.
- Remove the small stem or “cap” of the avocado: If the stem comes off easily and reveals green underneath, your avocado is ripe and ready to go. If brown is revealed, the avocado is overripe.
- Test the firmness of the avocado: When you hold the avocado in your hand and apply light pressure, it should give a bit under your fingertips. If it doesn’t give at all, it’s too early. If it is squishy, it’s overripe.

Becky’s Tips
- Use a large knife and (without holding the avocado to make sure you’re being safe) press down into the pit. Twist the knife, and the pit should come right out.
- Try adding Everything Bagel Seasoning to the fries before baking to add a little crunch and extra flavor.

Store uneaten avocado fries in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to crisp up again. I do not recommend freezing these avocado fries.
Serving Suggestions
I like pairing these Crispy Tempura Avocado fries with crispy oven fried chicken, or if we are in the mood for fish, I’ll make either Parmesan crusted tilapia or pesto salmon.
I am sorry this didn’t work for you, Tori
I can’t eat anything with flour. Can i leave out the flour? Or what can you suggest.
You can dry something like cornstarch!
Thanks for what looks like a very good recipe. We haven’t tried it yet but certainly intend to. I do have one question about the recipe, however. You give the nutritional data for apparently one serving, but what is the size of that serving. I’m guessing it’s about 1/4 of the recipe. We’re trying to keep track of our nutritional intake, and it would be handy to know that information. Thanks!
At the top of the recipe it should say how many servings the recipe makes!
Looks delicious
Thank you! Try it out and let me know what you think!
This is really good
Thanks, Jeny!
This is very good, it will be on my saved recipes list.
Thank you! It’s a family favorite with my crew.
I have also heard that using underripe avocados will yield a good avocado fry. Have you tried this? I am skeptical that the flavor would be as good but I’m also curious about the texture of a ripe avocado! I guess I need to try it out!
I haven’t heard that but that actually makes a bit of sense to me! Theyd be firmer and then the baking should soften them? I’ll have to try next time :)
My son has this crazy obsession with avocados. thank god… I am saved now. Oops, I am sorry. I have to thank you, Becky. Loved the recipe. Thanks a million
