- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- Cooking spray (preferably avocado oil spray)

Instructions

Slice each avocado in half and remove the pit. Carefully peel the skin and slice each half lengthwise into 4-5 thick wedges.
-
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and water until well combined.
-
In another shallow bowl, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
-
Dip each avocado wedge first into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture. For extra crispiness, dip them again in the egg wash and recoat with the almond flour mixture.
-
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
-
Place the coated avocado wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for optimal crisping.
-
Lightly spray the avocado fries with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
-
Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
-
While the fries cook, prepare the chipotle lime dip by mixing Greek yogurt, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, garlic powder, honey (or sweetener), and salt in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
-
Serve the crispy avocado fries warm with the chipotle lime dip on the side for dipping.
Tips
Air Fryer Model Notes
Cook Air Fryer Low-Carb Crispy Avocado Fries with Chipotle Lime Dip in a single layer when possible. Basket models may need batches; oven-style models may need a tray rotation halfway through for even browning.
Crispiness Control
Pat the ripe avocados dry, avoid crowding, and use only a light coat of oil or sauce before cooking. Add wet sauces near the end when you want the outside to stay crisp.
Doneness Cues
Look for browned edges, a hot center, and the texture described in the instructions.
Reheat In The Air Fryer
Reheat leftovers at 325 F to 350 F in a single layer until hot and crisp again. Add fresh herbs, citrus, or sauce after reheating.
