🥑 Air-Fried Crispy Avocado Fries with Lime-Cilantro Crema 🥑
An absolute masterclass in contrasting textures! This recipe transforms buttery, velvety fresh avocado wedges into hot, crispy finger food. By sealing the rich healthy fats inside a crisp, herb-seasoned coating, we prevent the avocado from breaking down. Under high convection airflow, the exterior sets into an immediate crunch while the inside softens into a warm, decadent cream.
