These hot and crunchy avocado chips offer a sophisticated twist on the traditional vegetable fry. By using a coating of panko breadcrumbs and ground flaxseeds, the creamy avocado takes on a satisfyingly crisp texture that contrasts beautifully with its buttery interior. A hint of mild chilli powder adds a subtle warmth, making them an irresistible snack or a creative side dish for your next dinner party.

As a nutritious vegetarian option, these baked wedges are much lighter than deep-fried alternatives but still deliver on flavour. They are best served fresh from the oven, seasoned with a touch of salt and a generous drizzle of hot sauce for a spicy kick. Pair them with a cooling lime yoghurt dip or enjoy them alongside a fresh salad for a light, healthy lunch.
