Ingredients

2 large avocados (or 3 small)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
½ cup flour
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon salt
cooking spray

Cilantro Lime Crema

¾ cup sour cream
3 ½ tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (or lemon)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoon chopped cilantro (or parsley)
pinch of salt

Instructions

Slice your avocados in half lengthwise around the pit. Remove the pits and use your fingers to gently peel the skin off.
Slice each half into 3-4 wedges depending how large your avocados are. ( I cut mine into 4 wedges.) If you slice them too thin, they will be too delicate to handle.
Set up your dredging station by adding your breadcrumbs, flour and eggs to three separate small bowls. Add the garlic powder, onion powder and salt to the flour and mix. Add 1 tablespoon of water to your eggs and scramble well.
Take one avocado wedge at a time and dredge each into the flour, followed by the egg, finishing with the breadcrumbs. You want to make sure you coat each wedge WELL so take your time. If the egg does not stick to the flour, the breadcrumbs wont stick either.
Set breaded wedges on a plate and spray them well with cooking spray.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 7 minutes.
When the air fryer is ready, add your wedges oil-side down to your air fryer basket making sure they don't touch. Then spray the top of your wedges with more cooking spray.
While waiting, mix up the ingredient for the cilantro lime crema.
After 7 minutes, if your wedges need more color, add another minute or 2. Serve them hot with the sour cream sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

*Make sure your avocados are not overly ripe or they will be too soft to handle.

Use any flour or breadcrumbs you wish.
Make sure to preheat your air fryer or the cooking time will need to be longer.
These will stay crispy for up to 2 hours.

Make in advance:

Mix your sauce and bread your wedges as far as the night before and refrigerate them until your guests arrive. Then fry them as stated in the directions.
