Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Carefully scoop out the flesh and cut it into thick fry-like strips.
3. Set up three shallow bowls or plates. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Working in batches, dredge the avocado strips in the flour, dip them into the beaten eggs, and then coat them with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the crumbs adhere.
5. Arrange the coated avocado fries on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to ensure even crisping.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping the fries halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove the fries from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, chipotle mayo, or guacamole.
