Not-Fried Avocado Fries

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cut avocado in half, and use a knife remove the pit. Cut avocado into thin quarter-inch slices.

Mix flour, cayenne powder, cumin powder, salt and pepper in a medium-sized bowl and lightly coat the avocado slices. (Be light-handed, you don’t want a thick coating.)

Dip coated avocado slices in beaten egg, and then into panko crumbs. Repeat twice if you want a crunchier panko crust. (I always like to do each action in batches. That way, I’m not dipping my hands into the wet eggs and then into the dry ingredients.)

Spray the baking pan with a light olive oil spray. Arrange avocado slices on a baking sheet. Bake for 12–14 minutes. Flip avocado slices, and bake for another 12–14 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Pair with ranch, or spicy mayo and serve up!
