Deep Fried Avocado

Deep Fried Avocado

(3 servings)

Ingredients:

1 cup Beer (your choice)

1 cup All-Purpose Flour

1 ½ tsp. Paprika

2 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced

as needed Salt

2 Haas Avocados, peeled & sliced into 6 wedges each

as needed Canola or Peanut Oil

Directions:

Whisk together the beer, flour, paprika, garlic and salt in a medium bowl until well blended. Heat oil to about 360 degrees in a fryer (if you have one) or a large dutch oven on the stove. You will need about 2 inches of oil to fry. Using a skewer or toothpick to hold each piece, dip into the batter and let excess drip off before placing in hot oil to fry for about 3 minutes. Don't over crowd the oil and keep temperature above 350 degrees. Once done place on a wire rack in a rimmed baking dish and then repeat process until done. Fried Avocados can be placed in a 200 degree oven to keep warm as you continue to fry the rest of them. Serve with your favorite condiment for dipping.

Note: If you would like yours with a little heat, try adding some spicy seasoning (such as creole) or hot sauce to the batter. The amount depends on your heat tolerance.
