This is a fun alternative to french fries. Not difficult to make at all and really versatile; you can use a multitude of different spices in this, depending on what flavor you're going for.
Baked Avocado Fries
Serves 4
2 firm, ripe avocados
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp lime juice
3 tbsp lime juice
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 tsp lite salt (split into two 1/8 tsp servings)
1/4 tsp lite salt (split into two 1/8 tsp servings)
2 tbsp Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning (split into two 1 tbsp servings)
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Combine lemon & lime juice in small bowl, stir in 1 tbsp Mrs. Dash seasoning and 1/8 tsp salt. In a separate bowl, mix cornmeal 1/8 tsp. salt and 1 tbsp Mrs. Dash seasoning.
- Dip avocados into juice, then press into cornmeal mixture.
- Line baking sheet with parchment, lay avocados flat in a single layer, and bake 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes for Next Time: As I said and as you can now see, this is a really simple recipe. Two easy ones in a row! Both side dishes or snacks that can be made in less than 30 minutes.
I felt the cornmeal was a little overpowering in this recipe, so I will likely cut it back to around 2/3 cup, if I do this one again. The Mrs. Dash added great flavor, but because of the Hispanic flavor this did not dip well with the standard ketchup or ranch dressing. It tasted great with salsa, though. I'm a dipper. I need something to dip.
That's honestly all I have to say about this one. It was fun and easy and even reheated well on days 2 and 3. I really can't say I have a lot of complaints, which is nice! Maybe I'm finally getting better at this whole cooking thing.
