Fried Avocado Dippers FAQ
Absolutely! These avocado dippers are vegetarian-friendly. They’re a great option for those looking for a tasty meat-free snack.
Of course! If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or omit it entirely. Adjust the seasoning to suit your taste buds.
While frying gives these dippers their signature crispiness, you can certainly try baking them. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake them on a parchment-lined baking sheet until they’re golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Panko breadcrumbs are ideal for achieving that extra crunch, but you can substitute regular breadcrumbs if needed. However, the texture might differ slightly.
