Avocado Fries Are Absolutely Amazing (Crunchy On the Outside, Soft and Creamy On the Inside)

Oh, dear. I never should have done this. This may be one of my biggest mistakes in this year. Can’t take it back now.

So we’re totally enjoying our grilled avocados, but my husband innocently asks “What else can you do with avocados?” And so my daughter tweets this recipe, and I’m laying all the blame on them. Of course, I had to go and make them, and now we are doomed.

Sigh…. Avocado fries are good. They’re very, very good. So don’t even go there unless you’re willing to deal with that. Crunchy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside… I dusted them with a little parmesan cheese, which was so unnecessary. But wow. We’re not so much down with frying stuff around here, but now I must have avocado fries. Must. Have. Them.

At a buck fifty a pop (at least around here), avocados can easily run up quite a tab on the grocery bill. Oh, who cares. We’ll do without napkins and wax paper or something. Avocado fries are here to stay.
