Avocado fries

Avocado fries is a type of fries dish prepared using avocado instead of potatoes. [10] [11] The avocado is typically sliced into strips, breaded or battered, and then deep-fried. [11] The breading or batter may be seasoned, and salt can be sprinkled atop the dish after deep-frying occurs. [12] [13] It is sometimes served as an appetizer or starter dish, and may be accompanied with a dipping sauce. [11] [14] Avocado fries can also be cooked by baking. [15] [16] Avocado fries have fewer carbohydrates compared to fries prepared using potatoes. [17]
