Avocado fries

Avocado fries is a type of fries dish prepared using avocado instead of potatoes. The avocado is typically sliced into strips, breaded or battered, and then deep-fried. The breading or batter may be seasoned, and salt can be sprinkled atop the dish after deep-frying occurs. It is sometimes served as an appetizer or starter dish, and may be accompanied with a dipping sauce. Avocado fries can also be cooked by baking. Avocado fries have fewer carbohydrates compared to fries prepared using potatoes.
