🥑 Extra-Crispy Air-Fried Avocado Fries 🌮

A spectacular, high-impact snack that takes the rich, buttery indulgence of a perfectly ripe avocado and contrasts it with an absolute shatter-crunch jacket! Firm Hass avocado wedges are treated with a micro-thin starch primer, completely insulated within a heavy dual-layer defense system of seasoned egg wash and flaky Panko breadcrumbs, and blasted with maximum-velocity convection heat. The intense dry air rapidly flash-bakes the outer shell into a rigid, golden-bronze armor that snaps with an incredibly loud crunch, instantly yielding to a warm, velvety, and meltingly soft core. 😋✨
