Step by Step Instructions
Prep your three bowls
Prepare three dipping bowls for coating your avocado fries. In bowl 1, mix together almond flour, cajun seasoning, and salt. In bowl 2, whisk together eggs and water. In bowl 3, mix together ground pork rinds, garlic powder and cayenne pepper.
First, dust
Dip each avocado slice into the almond flour mixture just to coat the outside. Work in batches.
Air fry
Place a layer of breaded avocado fries in the basket in the air fryer. Spray the avocado with avocado oil or olive oil. Turn air fryer to 400 degrees and air fry the avocado fries for 6 minutes. Flip and continue to air fry for an additional 6 minutes. Once done, remove the fries from the basket and repeat with other breaded avocado slices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour instead of almond flour?
Absolutely! You can substitute almond flour with coconut flour, but keep in mind that you'll need to adjust the quantity since coconut flour is more absorbent. Start with a quarter of the amount and increase as needed.
What can I use instead of pork rinds for the breading?
If you're looking for a substitute, crushed sunflower seeds or hemp hearts can work well for a similar crunch. Just make sure to season them well to enhance the flavor!
How can I store leftover avocado fries?
Store any leftover avocado fries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
Are these avocado fries suitable for meal prep?
Yes! You can prepare the breading and slice the avocados ahead of time. Just coat and air fry them when you're ready to eat for a fresh and crispy side.
What is the nutritional value of these keto avocado fries?
Each serving has about 168 calories, 13.8g fat, 5.2g total carbs (1.9g net), and 8.7g protein. The healthy fats from the avocado and the protein from the pork rind breading make these a solid low-carb snack.
