Ingredients
- 1 Avocado, pitted and cut into slices
- 2 TBSP Flour
- ½ TSP Paprika
- ½ TSP Cajun
- ½ TSP Mixed Herbs
- ¼ TSP Black Pepper
- 20g Grated Parmesan
- 1 EGG
- 2 Slices of Bread or 1 Cup of Bread Crumbs
To Dip
- 100g Greek Yogurt
- 2 Cloves Garlic Chopped
- 1 TSP Fresh or dried Rosemary
- ½ TSP Chilli Flakes
- A Squeeze of Lemon Juice
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180d and line a cooking tray with tin foil.
- If using bread, simply grate the bread to form small crumbs, you could opt for gluten free bread here.
- Next add the Parmesan, Cajun, paprika, herbs and pepper to the breadcrumbs and stir to combine.
- You will now need to grab two other bowls: in one add the flour and in the second lightly beat the egg.
- Now roll each avocado slice into the plain flour, then dip them into the egg and finally roll them into the flavoured breadcrumbs until well coated.
- Pop the buffalo avocado slices onto the baking tray and into the oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- As the buffalo chips are baking, mix together all of the dip ingredients, if you’re one for a little bit of spice try adding in a few drops of Sriracha Chilli Sauce too.
- Enjoy!
