Gluten-free, Grain Free, Paleo Baked Avocado "Fries"


I adapted a recipe for baked avocado fries from baked-in.com to suit grain-free, gluten-free and Paleo lifestyles. It turned out deliciously!


INGREDIENTS: 
  • 3 ripe (but not overripe) avocados
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • 2 farm fresh eggs 
  • 1½ cups shredded coconut
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Coconut oil
PREPARATION: 
  1. Preheat oven to 450° F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on the sheet. Set aside.
  2. Slice avocados lengthwise – for three avocados, you’ll get 20-22 fries.
  3. Set up three bowls in an “assembly line” .. In the first bowl, combine the ½ cup of coconut flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Crack the eggs into the middle bowl and beat lightly.
  5. In the last bowl, combine about 1 tbsp worth of coconut oil and the 1½ cups shredded coconut and mix with your fingers to coat. 
  6. Dredge each avocado slice through the flour, and then the beaten egg. Coat thoroughly with the shredded coconut mixture and place on the wire rack lightly coated w/ some additional coconut oil.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool for about ten minutes and serve with your dipping sauce of your choice.
