Introduction

Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these Air Fryer Everything Bagel Avocado Fries are a delicious snack or appetizer. Coated in flavorful everything bagel seasoning and panko, they offer a crunchy bite that’s perfectly complemented by a smooth cream cheese drizzle.

On a white oval plate with a beige rim, there are about fifteen crispy breaded avocado slices arranged in a scattered way, showing a crunchy texture mixed with black and white sesame seeds and breadcrumbs on the outside, and green creamy avocado on the inside. Some slices are drizzled with a smooth white sauce that adds contrast. On the white marbled surface nearby, there is a white bowl with more white sauce and a white spoon with some sauce spilled beside it. The photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
2 tablespoons black and/or white sesame seeds
2 large, just ripe avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced ½ inch thick
Olive oil cooking spray
2 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon (or more) water
Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Pour the flour into a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs until blended. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, everything bagel seasoning, and sesame seeds.
Step 2: Dip each avocado slice first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the panko mixture, gently pressing to adhere. Transfer the coated avocado strips to a plate.
Step 3: Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange avocado strips in a single layer in the basket, spacing them about 1/4 inch apart. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray.
Step 4: Cook at 350°F, flipping halfway through and spraying again, until golden and crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Clean out any breading crumbs from the basket between batches if cooking more than one.
Step 5: In a small heatproof bowl, microwave the cream cheese on high until melted and smooth, about 30 seconds. Stir in water, adding more as needed to create a drizzleable consistency.
Step 6: Drizzle the avocado fries with the melted cream cheese and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Tips & Variations

Use ripe but firm avocados to help the slices hold their shape during cooking.
Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the panko mixture for a spicy kick.
Serve with a side of salsa or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor variety.

Storage

Store leftover avocado fries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat briefly in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes to regain crispness. The cream cheese drizzle is best made fresh before serving.
