Tips

Use firm and ripe avocados. This way, they will hold their shape when sliced, breaded, and fried.
Use oil with a high smoke point. Instead of olive oil, use vegetable oil such as canola oil, peanut oil, or corn oil. Learn more about 'Cooking Oils and Their Uses'.
Make sure the oil is hot. Measure the temperature of the oil with a kitchen thermometer. If the oil is too hot, the avocados can burn. Avocados can absorb the oil if the oil is not too hot.
Cook in the oven, skillet, or air fryer. You can deep fry it in a pan or bake it on parchment paper in a preheated oven.
Cook avocados in batches. Do not overload avocado fries in the oven, skillet, or deep fryer. This way, all the avocado slices will cook evenly.
Brush it with olive oil before placing it in the deep fryer or oven to make it crispy and golden.
Flavor the avocado with spices such as garlic powder, cumin, or chili powder.
Serve with dipping sauces such as ranch sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, cheese sauce, or aioli.
