Would you like baked avocado fries with that?
This recipe from Chobani is a fun way to enjoy avocado—cooked! Since the avocado will be sliced and baked, it should be firm, not guacamole-soft.

1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/2 cup flour

Preparation
1. PREHEAT oven to 350°F.
2. MIX together bread crumbs, pepper, salt and cumin in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
3. CUT the avocados in half and then slice them vertically.
4. DREDGE the avocado slices in the flour, then in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumbs.
5. LAY on baking sheet covered with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
6. BAKE for 10-12 minutes, checking frequently on status (baking times vary between ovens). Meanwhile…
7. MAKE the dipping sauce. Place the yogurt, cilantro and lemon juice in a blender and mix until smooth and creamy in texture.
