[Video] For The Love Of Food: Making Crunchy Fries With Avocado Pear

I don't even like Avocado pears, even though they say they are packed full of nutrients. The softness always put me off, but that was before I stumbled on this wonderful way of making crunchy avocado fries! This stuff tastes a whole lot nicer than it looks, and every thing you need to make it is probably in your kitchen already. Just buy some Avocados!

What You'll Need:

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs

2 large egg whites

2 firm, ripe avocados

Cooking spray

1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges

Preparation

1. Preheat broiler. Place a baking sheet in oven while broiler preheats.

2. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Place egg whites in a small bowl, and whisk until foamy.

3. Halve avocados, remove pits, and cut each half into 6 wedges. Pull off peels.

4. Dredge avocado wedges in flour, dip in egg white, and then dredge in breadcrumbs. Remove baking sheet from oven; coat with cooking spray. Place avocado slices on baking sheet; coat avocados with cooking spray.

5. Broil 5 minutes or until brown on top. Turn and broil 2 more minutes. Remove and serve with lemon wedges.
