Instructions
Making Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Fries at home is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Avocados: Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the avocado flesh out gently. Cut each half into fry-shaped pieces.
3. Cook Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, partially cook the bacon slices until they are just starting to crisp but still flexible. This will make wrapping easier. Aim for about 5-7 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly.
4. Prepare Breading Station: Place flour in one bowl and season with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, and additional salt and pepper.
5. Bread the Avocado: Dip each avocado fry first in flour, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
6. Wrap with Bacon: Take a piece of partially cooked bacon and wrap it around each avocado fry. Secure the end with a toothpick if necessary.
7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the bacon-wrapped avocado fries on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
8. Bake: Spray the fries lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with oil. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
9. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Bacon-Wrapped Avocado Fries while hot, perfect for dipping!
