Air Fryer Everything Bagel Avocado Fries
Meet the love child of two iconic breakfasts: toasted everything bagel with cream cheese and savory avocado toast. Their superpowers combine in irresistible Air Fryer Everything Bagel Avocado Fries, which rely on the magical air fryer for their crisp texture, rather than deep frying.
Ingredients :
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 3 Tbsp. everything bagel seasoning
- 2 Tbsp. black and/or white sesame seeds
- 2 large, just ripe avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced ½" thick
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 2 oz. cream cheese
- 1 Tbsp. water
- lime wedges, for serving
Directions :
- Pour flour into a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, beat eggs to blend. In a third shallow bowl, mix panko, everything bagel seasoning, and sesame seeds. Dip avocado strips into flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into eggs, then into panko mixture, gently pressing to adhere. Transfer to a plate.
- Lightly coat an air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Working in batches, arrange avocado in a single layer in basket, spacing about 1/4" apart; spray with cooking spray. Cook at 350°, flipping halfway through and spraying with cooking spray, until golden and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Clean out any breading in basket between batches.
- In a small heatproof bowl, microwave cream cheese on high until melted and smooth, about 30 seconds. Stir in water, adding more if necessary to create a drizzleable consistency.
- Drizzle avocado fries with melted cream cheese. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
