Ahead of National Avocado Day (31st July), Australian comedian Nazeem Hussain is challenging the nation to share the tasty, fun and unique ways they use Australian Avocados.

The call-to-avo comes after Australian Avocados ‘officially, unofficially’ sponsored the month of July with National Avocado Day rounding out the Green Gold extravaganza on Sunday 31 July. 

With the iconic fruit currently in abundance, Aussies can support Aussie farmers by enjoying great quality avocados for a budget-friendly price. 

Avo Fries

Ingredients

2 large ripe, but firm Australian Avocados
2 large eggs
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon salt
Extra Virgin Olive Oil for drizzling

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium-sized shallow dish, stir together the panko, coriander, cumin, and salt. Place the flour in a small bowl and place the egg in a separate small bowl.
  • Cut the Australian Avocados lengthwise into 8 slices and peel the skins. Dip each slice in the flour, flipping to coat and shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg, and then the panko mixture.
  • Place onto the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
