Baked Avocado Fries
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Degree of difficulty: very easy
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serves 1
- 1 ripe but not overly ripe avocado per person (I'm not messing about, this is really good and you won't want to share them)
- 1/3 cup cornflour/fine cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 50g/1.7oz. finely grated tasty cheese
- Oil for drizzling
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1.5 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 225C/437F. Line a baking tray and drizzle with oil. Mix the cornflour and cayenne in a small bowl. Have the beaten egg ready in another shallow bowl and the breadcrumbs in another.
Step 2 - Slice the avocado into 10 or 12 slices-like potato slices. Dip each piece into the cornflour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. PLace on the prepared tray and add finely grated cheese on top and then drizzle with oil. Bake for 10 minutes. Check if there are any dry spots of flour and add a little oil if needed. Bake for another 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce.
