Ingredients
- 2 medium avocados
- ¼ cup cornmeal
- ½ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 fresh lime
- Avocado or olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer for at least 3 minutes to 400 F. Mix the cornmeal and seasonings in a shallow bowl or pan.
- Slice, peel and pit the avocados. Gently toss the avocado slices into the cornmeal mixture until completely coated. Press the avocado into the cornmeal until it sticks.
- Place the coated slices into the preheated air fryer basket. Spritz lightly with oil. Cook for 8 minutes - stopping midway to gently shake the basket to ensure even cooking.
- Once done. Squeeze lightly with lime juice. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Tips for success
- Choose a ripe but firm avocado.
- Cut the avocados into the same sized slices for more even cooking.
- Don't skimp on the seasonings. The salt may sound like a lot but remember that you won't eat all of it. Another seasoning option: Use 1½ teaspoon taco seasoning for the garlic and chile powder if you have it on hand. Add salt to taste.
