Irresistible Crispy Deep-Fried Avocado Bites

Ingredients

- 2 ripe avocados, firm yet yielding
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Lime wedges for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preparation for Frying
- Begin by halving the avocados and removing the pits. Carefully peel and slice each avocado half into 4-5 thick wedges.

2. Set Up Dredging Stations
- Station 1: Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish.
- Station 2: Whisk the eggs in a bowl until well combined.
- Station 3: In another dish, mix together panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

3. Coat the Avocado Slices
- Dredge each avocado slice in flour, shake off the excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat thoroughly with the seasoned panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

4. Heat the Oil
- Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, ensuring the oil is deep enough for submerging the avocado slices. Heat to 350°F (175°C) using a thermometer for accuracy.

5. Fry the Avocado
- Carefully place a few avocado slices into the hot oil, frying in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

6. Drain and Serve
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried avocado slices to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve the crispy avocado bites warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
