Ingredients
- 3 large avocados
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup tempura mix
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 ½ teaspoons Slap ya mama seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce, Cholula or Tabasco
- Oil, for frying
Instructions
- Set up a frying station with two bowls.
- Heat oil to 350-375°.
- In one bowl mix together the panko, tempura, slap ya mama, and black pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, and hot sauce together.
- Slice avocados in half, and remove seed.
- Cut 1⁄2 inch slices through the avocado, making sure not to go through the skin.
- Scoop the flesh out with a spoon.
- Carefully, coat each avocado slice in the buttermilk mixture.
- Let excess drip off then coat in the panko mixture. Set on a cookie sheet.
- Repeat the process with remaining avocados.
- Fry each avocado until golden brown. About 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the oil and let drip on a cookie sheet with a baking rack over it.
- Repeat the process with remaining coated avocado fries.
Notes
- Prep your avocados just before coating and frying them to prevent browning.
- Easily cut up your avocados by slicing them into ¼-inch wedges while still in their skins. Then, use a spoon to gently scoop them out.
- Choose avocados that are ripe but still firm enough to slice easily.
- Keep your oil between 350°F and 375°F for even cooking.
- Fry in small batches to maintain the oil temperature.
- Use a wire rack instead of paper towels to keep the coating crisp.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
