Avocado fries

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 110g plain flour
• 2 tsp fine salt
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 eggs, large
• 150g salted corn tortilla chips
• vegetable oil
• 2 avocados, large, just ripe (not too soft)

Instructions

Method

• STEP 1

  Put the flour in a shallow bowl and mix in the salt and paprika. Beat the eggs in a second bowl. Crush the tortilla chips into crumbs (squashing them in their packet is the easiest way to do this) and pour a quarter of them into a third, shallow bowl.

   

• STEP 2

  Heat the grill to medium and lightly oil a baking tray. Cut the avocados in half lengthways and remove the stone. Carefully scoop the halves out of the peel with a spoon and cut each into 4 long wedges. Dip in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, then the egg, and then the tortilla chips, pressing the pieces on, to coat.

• STEP 3

  Repeat, adding more tortilla crumbs to the bowl as necessary (adding them gradually will keep them dry and crisp).

• STEP 4

  Arrange on the tray and grill for about 2-3 minutes until golden, then turn over and repeat. Serve straight away for maximum crunch.
