Avocado Fries
- 1 whole Large Avocado, Medium Ripe
- 1 cup Canola Oil
- 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Pepper
- 1/2 whole Sleeve Of Saltine Crackers, Crumbled (4 Ounce Sleeve)
- 2 pinches Salt To Taste
- 1/4 cups Your Favorite Dipping Sauce
- Start by running your knife around the avocado to cut it in half.
- Separate one half from the other, then carefully whack the pit with your knife, give it a twist, and remove the pit.
- Discard the pit.
- Run a small spoon between the skin and the avocado flesh, and get each half of the avocado flesh placed onto a cutting board.
- Slice each half in half.
- Then slice those in half.
- If they are thicker and you have big slices, then try slicing them in half again, lengthwise.
- Think french fries, only with avocado.
- Place the oil into a medium sized skillet, and let this come up to a medium heat, which should be just enough time to begin preparing the fries.
- Now its time for the dredge.
- Beat the eggs and a pinch of salt in a shallow bowl.
- Put the flour into a shallow bowl.
- Season the flour with the lemon pepper and mix that around.
- Smash the Saltine crackers in a sealable plastic bag.
- Dump those onto a plate.
- Take an avocado fry and toss it in the flour, then move that into the egg mixture, and then place it into the crumbled crackers.
- Give a little shake.
- As you get each coated gently place the avocado fries into the hot oil, and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
- These will not take long.
- Once golden, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them onto a plate lined with paper towel.
- Season immediately with a pinch or two of salt.
- Plate and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
- After my wife and I tried one (many) we both sat there quietly.
- I began talking about them, then she began talking about them, and we agreed ... these things rock.
- You get this crispy exterior from an awesome Saltine cracker breading, then, believe it or not, the avocado holds its creamy texture.
- After we devoured the avocado, I began talking about ways of using them in Mexican dishes, beer snacks, and a multitude of other awesome ideas.
- Give these a shot.
- They will get you thinking, and actually wanting more.
- And heck, who can go wrong with a great avocado?
