Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
- Start by preparing the avocados. Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel the skin. Slice each avocado half into 4-5 thick slices.
- In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- Add the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the breadcrumbs. Mix well to combine.
- Dip each avocado slice into the flour, coating it on all sides, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally into the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
- Repeat the dipping process with all avocado slices and set them aside on a plate.
- In a large skillet, pour enough vegetable oil to reach a depth of about 1/2 inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
- Carefully place a few avocado slices into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried avocado slices from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
- Continue frying the remaining avocado slices in batches until they are all cooked.
- Serve the fried avocados warm as an appetizer or as a side dish. They are best enjoyed immediately for maximum crispiness and flavor.
