Ingredients

Oven Avocado Fries

4 Tbsp. canola oil, divided
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 1/2 tsp. chili powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup whole buttermilk
1 large egg
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 firm but ripe avocados, each cut into 6 wedges

Creamy Chipotle Lime Sauce

3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 finely chopped chipotles in adobo
2 tsp. lime zest
1 1/2 Tbsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp. chili powder
Kosher salt
black pepper

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush a large rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Toss breadcrumbs, chili powder, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a shallow bowl until coated. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk together buttermilk and egg in a separate bowl, and place flour in a third bowl.
2. Step 2Season avocado with salt and pepper. Working with one wedge at a time, toss in flour, then in buttermilk mixture (letting any excess drip off), and then in breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help adhere. Place, rounded side down, on prepared baking sheet.
3. Step 3Bake until golden brown, 28 to 32 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Step 4Make Creamy Chipotle Lime Sauce: Stir together mayonnaise, finely chopped chipotles in adobo, lime zest, lime juice, and chili powder. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
5. Step 5Serve with Creamy Chipotle Lime Sauce and lime wedges alongside.
