Why Air Fryer Avocado Wedges?
Using an air fryer not only minimizes the oil content but also keeps the avocados creamy and tender on the inside while achieving that desired crispy exterior. Plus, it’s a super quick way to whip up a snack that’s both nutritious and satisfying!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C).
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and slice each half into wedges.

- In another bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each avocado wedge first in the egg wash, then coat generously with the breadcrumb mixture.
