Macros per ½ serving:  216 Cals | 12.2g Fat | 7.7 Protein | 17.9 Carbs

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 180d and line a cooking tray with tin foil.
  2. If using bread, simply grate the bread to form small crumbs, you could opt for gluten free bread here.
  3. Next add the Parmesan, Cajun, paprika, herbs and pepper to the breadcrumbs and stir to combine.
  4. You will now need to grab two other bowls: in one add the flour and in the second lightly beat the egg.
  5. 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.
  6. Pop the buffalo avocado slices onto the baking tray and into the oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  7. 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.
  8. Enjoy!
