Crispy and flavorful Pretzel Parmesan Avocado Fries will be a huge standout at your next holiday party! Super simple to make and gluten-free!
Can you believe that the name of this blog is Athletic Avocado and we barely have any recipes that contain avocado? That needs to change ASAP. As much as I love avocado, I have a really hard time making my own recipes with it because guacamole is the only thing I can think of until the idea for these avo fries came into my life.
This Post is sponsored by La Terra Fina. As always, all opinions are my own.
Instead of making a dip with avocado (aka guac), I made a dipper! The result is a crunchy, cheesy salty coating on the outside and delicious creamy taste of avocado on the inside.
La Terra Fina provided me with their line of greek yogurt dips to help spread some holiday cheer, literally. These dips are so flavorful with 50% less fat and fewer calories, thanks to the greek yogurt base. On top of that, La Terra Fina greek yogurt dips are gluten-free and have no artificial flavors or preservatives. I used their Spinach, Artichoke & Parmesan dip for a great companionship with these ago fries. The result is a delicious combination of flavors!
So how simple are these avocado fries? Almost stupidly simple. When making them, you are allowed to double dip. I mean, technically you could also double dip when eating if no one is watching but that’s not what I’m talking about. Right now, I’m strictly explaining the technique to make these avo fries as crispy as possible without frying!
Step one: dip avocado slice in pretzel-parm mix.
Step two: dip in egg mix.
Step three: drench in pretzel-park mix AGAIN.
Step four: bake.
Step five: eat with La Terra Fina greek yogurt dip.
Step six: repeat (10x)
Only six simple ingredients required:
Avocado slices
Pretzels
Parmesan
Eggs

Have you ever tried Avocado fries?
What is your favorite type of dip?
Well this looks like a can’t stop, superbly delicious, snack situation!! Rather than avocado being the dip now you get to dip avocado in a dip. So it’s almost like getting to eat 2 dips at once–mind is somewhat blown here I gotta admit! You never fail to whip out something super creative and unexpected 🙂
This looks so delicious!
I used to haaaatttee warm avocado taste, but I discovered recently that I like it now. And with that crust, there’s no way I’m sayin no!
I guess it was about time for another avocado recipe! 🙂 These do look yummy and much healthier than fried avocado fries like I’ve been seeing at restaurants lately!
Wow. I am just going to have to try this, if it tastes as good as it looks, it will be a winner for sure.
