PAPRIKA CUMIN AVOCADO FRIES

Avocado Fries. Wow! Where do I begin explaining from? I'm all for discovering new flavors, combinations and tastes, and since I'm doing #AvocadoAugust I thought why not try making fries out of this wonderful fruit? Avocado Fries are the best new thing you have to try! I made Ugali  Fries and the journey of fries is still ongoing. Healthy, spicy, crunchy yet so soft on the inside, these fries will make your life that much better! Avocado fries have been trending and it was only a matter of time before I made them. They looked delicious and I knew I had to try them. Avocados are full of healthy nutrients, great fats that are good for your body with the added benefits of being naturally sweet.

2 Large Avocados

1 Teaspoon Paprika

1 Teaspoon Cumin

1 Cup Bread crumbs

1 Cup Wholewheat Flour

1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice

2 Eggs

METHOD

Prepare your 'service station' . Beat egg in bowl, pour the wholewheat flour in bowl or plate, add breadcrumbs in a different bowl. Add paprika into the bread crumbs 

Add Cumin to the bread crumbs and mix well

Slice the avocado lengthwise. Make sure you slice thick pieces so that they do not break while frying 

Lay the avocado on a chopping board or plate and sprinkle them with the lemon juice. You can even sprinkle salt if you want

Dip one piece of avocado in the whole wheat flour

Coat the avocado completely. This gives the avocado a better surface to coat breadcrumbs with 

Dip the avocado in the beaten egg ensuring it is evenly and well coated

Coat the drenched avocado in the spicy breadcrumbs and pat lightly to make sure the crumbs stick well 

Repeat with all the avocado pieces until you are done

Heat a deep heavy bottomed pan with vegetable oil on medium high heat. Once oil is hot enough add in the coated avocados

Let the a ovocados cook until they begin to float

Cook first side until golden brown then turn to give the second side the chance to fry to golden brown as well
