Baked Avocado Fries

by Rebecca Hughes

Prep Time:10 minutes

Cook Time:10 minutes

Yield:1 to 2

Ingredients:

• 1 large avocado, ripe
• 1 t garlic powder
• ½ t onion powder
• ½ t smoked paprika
• ¼ t black pepper
• 3 T arrowroot powder
• ½ T flaxseed, plus 1 ½ T water
• ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• ½ T water

How to Make It:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and place a rack on the middle shelf.

2. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil or a non-stick reusable baking sheet and set aside.

3. Add the flaxseed and 1 ½ T water to a bowl, mix together and place in a fridge.

4. Slice the avocado in half, and remove the pit. Cut each half into 4 or 5 slices, and set aside.

5. In a bowl, combine arrowroot powder and half of the seasonings (garlic, onion, smoked paprika and black pepper).

6. Remove the flax and water mix from the fridge.

7. In a second bowl combine the flax and water mix with ½ T water.

8. In a third bowl combine the shredded coconut and the remaining half of the seasonings.

9. Start with one avocado slice at a time. Dip an avocado slice in the arrowroot mix, then in the flaxseed mix, and then coat in the coconut mix.

10. Place the coated avocado on the lined baking tray. Repeat this process for the remaining avocado slices.

11. Bake in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, this is dependent on your type of oven. Check after 5 minutes. If the coconut is very lightly golden in some places and the avocado slices don’t feel ‘soggy’ then they are ready. If not, cook for a few extra minutes and keep checking until cooked.

12. Once ready, serve and enjoy! If you fancy a dip try this Easy Tomato Ketchup.
