This little number has been going around, and let me say: I am DROOLING! A healthier recipe option is at the bottom. You could also up the health factor by experimenting with almond flour/meal instead of bread crumbs or flour.

BAKED AVOCADO FRIES You’ll need:

• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 1/4 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
• 2 firm-ripe medium avocados, pitted, peeled, and sliced into 1/2-in. wedges
• Grated parmesan for serving (optional) Mary Note: Not optional in my opinion. [Leah Note: Or mine!!]

Simply:

Preheat oven to 450.

Coat avocado slices in the four, then egg, then panko. Spread on a cooling rack that has been sprayed with non-stick spray, then place on a cookie sheet.  Spray the top of the wedges with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, then bake for about 20 minutes at 450, or until they are golden brown (I turned my oven up to 500 for the last 5 minutes).
