Avocado Fries Recipe
Avocado Fries are juicy, flavorful, easy, and healthy. This Baked Avocado Recipe is baked and not fried, but still crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside.
If you’re looking for an easy, yummy, and healthy appetizer or side dish to feed your family this weekend, I recommend these fries. These Baked Fried Avocados are fun to make and one of my favorite delicious treats. I like to eat them on their own, dipped in ranch or buffalo sauce, or a mix of both!
How to tell if an avocado is ripe:
- Check the color of the avocado skin: The darker the skin, the riper the avocado. You want an avocado that is deep in color, but not dark brown or black. That would be a sign the avocado has turned.
- Remove the small stem or “cap” of the avocado: If the stem comes off easily and reveals green underneath, your avocado is ripe and ready to go. If brown is revealed, the avocado is overripe.
- Test the firmness of the avocado: When you hold the avocado in your hand and apply light pressure, it should give a bit under your fingertips. If it doesn’t give at all, it’s too early. If it is squishy, it’s overripe.

Becky’s Tips
- Use a large knife and (without holding the avocado to make sure you’re being safe) press down into the pit. Twist the knife, and the pit should come right out.
- Try adding Everything Bagel Seasoning to the fries before baking to add a little crunch and extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions
I like pairing t with One of my favorite pairings for these crispy tempura avocado fries is a hearty burger bowl , where the creamy avocado fries add the perfect crunch. They’re also incredible with crispy oven fried chicken , making a comfort-food meal feel a little extra special. And if we’re in the mood for seafood, I’ll whip up Parmesan crusted tilapia or a flavorful pesto salmon — the fries complement either option beautifully, adding that satisfying crisp texture we all love.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
