💡 Tips for Purchasing and Storing Avocados

Picking out the perfect avocado can be challenging. Storing it to maximize its freshness is even more of a challenge. Hopefully, these tips will help:

  • Look for avocados that have uniform texture all over. If there’re soft spots, that means they’re bruised.
  • Don’t judge by the color of the fruit. Avocado’s come in several varieties and the color will be different based on the type.
  • Firmness tells it all. If an avocado is too firm to the touch, then it hasn’t ripened. If you’re going to need them several days in advance, these may be a good choice, as they ripen well sitting on the counter. If they’re super soft, they’re either too ripe or will need to be used immediately. Gently putting pressure on the fruit is all that is needed, don’t squeeze them too hard.
  • If you have an avocado that has not ripened, don’t store it in the fridge. Chilling avocados halts the ripening process. Instead, put it in a paper bag on the window sill, and it will help it ripen quicker.
  • Once the avocado has reached the desired degree of ripeness you prefer, you can store leftovers in the fridge.
  • To optimize their freshness in the fridge, sprinkle with fresh lemon juice and place in a food saver storage bag, with all the air vacuumed out. They’re usually best used within 3 days of slicing.
  • You can even freeze avocados. To do so, blend your avocados with a little lemon juice in a food processor, place in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a few months. Just know that the texture will change once they’ve been frozen.

🍴 What to Serve with Avocado Fries

You can serve these fries with anything you would serve regular French fries with. From homemade Smash Burgers and Fried Shrimp to Keto Chicken Tenders, they’ll go with just about anything.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

  • Other veggies: If you’re not a fan of avocado, you may want to try these Zucchini Fries or these Fried Dill Pickles a try. Another great alternative to French fries are Jicama Fries! You’ll be surprised at how close to potatoes they are!

Are Avocado on Keto Okay?

Avocados are perfect for Keto! This is because avocados are high in several vitamins and minerals, including potassium. Avocado’s have more potassium than bananas! Potassium intake from avocados can help relieve some of the symptoms people have with Keto flu.

They’re also a wonderful source of “good” fat, which is a very important component of Keto.

How Many Carbs in Avocado?

Because avocado’s range in size, it’s best to determine portion size by weight. There are 4 net carbs per 2 oz. serving of avocado.

Can I Substitute Almond Flour With Another Type of Flour?

Yes, you can substitute almond flour with other types of flour, such as coconut flour or pecan flour. However, keep in mind that the texture and flavor will vary.

Can I Bake Avocado Fries?

Yes, you can bake the avocado fries if you prefer. Simply place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a 400°F preheated oven until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through baking.

  1. Looks delicious, can’t wait to try it! I was curious about the serving size as related to calories, fat content etcetera — because those numbers do not change when I input a new serving size. How many fries per one “serving”? One avocado = 8 fries = one serving? Thank you for the clarification!

  2. How long and at what temp would you AIR FRY these??? I LOVE MY AIR FRYER INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL STOVETOP FRYING… SO MUCH EASIER AND LESS MESS!

  3. 5 stars
    When I saw this recipe yesterday I immediately went to the market and bought a kilo of avocados. I’m so excited to try this later. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
