Air-Fried Avocado Wedges

A bit of Parmesan in the coating is the secret to achieving irresistible nutty flavor in these heart-healthy bites.

Ingredients

• ½ cup seasoned panko breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 firm-ripe avocados
• 1 lemon
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• ¼ tsp. garlic powder

Instructions

1. In small bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan and salt. In separate bowls, add flour and egg. Cut avocados in half; remove pits. Scoop avocado flesh out of skins. Cut each half into thin wedges (about 8 wedges per half). Working with one piece at a time, coat avocado pieces with flour, then egg, then panko mixture, gently pressing to adhere. Transfer to baking sheet.
2. Place crisper plate in basket of 5-qt. air fryer; coat with cooking spray. Place basket in air fryer; heat to air-fry at 400°F. In batches, air-fry avocado wedges in single layer until golden brown, 7–8 min. per batch.
3. Grate 2 tsp. zest and squeeze 1 tsp. juice from lemon. In small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, zest and garlic powder until combined. Serve with avocado fries for dipping.
