I do love avocados. I use them in salads, in smoothies, and even on toast. Today I’m trying something new for me – breaded avocado fingers baked until golden brown. I had to try them. Avocado is so healthy for you and with a few additions of sharper flavors like lime or lemon juice and garlic, it becomes a delight to eat.
They are a great appetizer, snack, lunch or side dish. Avocado finger fries are rolled in flour, dipped in eggs, coated with bread crumbs, and baked in the oven until golden. Serve them warm with your favorite dip or sauce. Below are some interesting choices of dips:

I also LOVE avocados but am not sure about eating them cooked. These do look good though.
These look delicious! Must give them a try. Thanks Carol 🙂
Carol, I’ll have to try them. I do have cauliflower the same way and they are very tasty. My wife really enjoys them.

let me know if you like them – have a wonderful day Paul
…something that I have never had.
This is an interesting idea for a snack. I’m not a huge fan of avocados but my family loves them. Baking them in the oven makes them healthier too :o)

These look fun and delicious. Thanks for sharing at #aclwcc.
thanks Clearissa – you always say the sweetest things
When you said fries, I was worried! But oven baked and breaded avocado sounds really good! I’ve got to save this one. The chipotle sauce looks good too.
I agree – frying is not a healthy option but I do love to “bake fry” if you know what I mean
Oh sooo yummy looking and sounding ~ Xo

These are something a bit different. I only ever have avocado on toast or in smoothies. What a great idea. x
Never thought about frying avocado before, sounds interesting x #mmbc
Your idea to add a satisfying crunch to avocado slices creates such an amazing treat! Now I need to go check out these dipping sauces you recommended from Love and Lemons and Kitchen Konfidence!!
These sound delicious! I just bought a big bag of avocadoes in Costco for $5 and will try this.
Yum!!! Thanks for sharing at #omhgww. See you next week.

I love avocados but I’ve never tried baking them like this. They look and sound delicious. Will definitely be giving these a try. #MMBC
