Gluten-Free/Paleo Avocado Fries

I am personally not Gluten-Free or on the Paleo diet but I thought I would provide this version of the recipe for all of those who are :)

Avocado Fries

3 Avocados

Coconut Oil for frying 

1 bag of Almond Meal/Flour

3 Eggs, beaten

1 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

Salt to taste

Set up two separate bowls. One with almond/coconut mixture/salt to taste - don't be shy (I don't give amounts because you just need enough mixture to cover all of the avocado slices) and one with your 3 beaten eggs.

Cut the avocados in half and then slice them vertically into 4 inch by 1 inch wedges. Set them aside.

Heat the coconut oil in a frying pan, be sure to add enough so that it is 3 to 4 inches deep.

Drop each avocado piece in first your egg mixture and next in your almond/coconut mixture. Place them in the hot oil and fry them for only about 15-30 seconds per side (keep a keen eye on them - they tend to brown very quickly depending on how hot your pan is).

Remove the avocado fries from your pan with tongs and set them on a plate preferably lined with paper towels, to absorb the excess oil. Enjoy and serve with your favorite dipping sauce!!

Avocado Fries

If you have not had the joy of trying these yet, you are in for a serious treat. A friend and I ordered them as an appetizer and salivated over how delicious they were. I knew I needed to recreate them at home. They were super simple and I knew you all would appreciate the fact that there is a delicious gluten free/paleo version to them as well! Please refer to that post for the recipe. They are best served with ranch, spicy mayo or spicy/sweet ketchup (also known as chili sauce). Have at it!
