This is a delicious and unique way to serve avocados. In this interesting twist on tempura, the avocado gets sliced, breaded and quick fried. It’s got a crispy exterior and a melt in your mouth center.
Peel and slice a ripe but firm avocado into 2/3″ spears.
Dip each one in flour, then scrambled egg, and finally Panko (Japanese bread crumbs.) Lay them out on a plate until ready to fry.
Heat enough canola oil to fully cover the bottom of a frying pan. Fry the breaded avocado slices until golden brown, turning to cook both sides.
Drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil, and sprinkle with sea-salt.
Keep them warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve. Enjoy!
*I keep thinking that these could be enhanced by adding a little grated parmesan cheese. Try adding about 1/2 cup of parmesan to the flour, and see what happens!
