Ingredients
- canola oil, for frying
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 firm-ripe avocados, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Directions
- Pour the oil to depth of 1 ½-inches in a medium saucepan or Dutch oven. Heat to 375 degrees over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour and salt in a shallow plate. Put the eggs and panko in separate shallow plates. Dip the avocado wedges in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, and then dredge in panko to coat.
- Fry avocado wedges, in batches, for 30 to 60 seconds or until golden brown, and drain on paper towels. Place on a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven to keep warm while frying remaining wedges. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste.
