Method

  1. Place flour in a shallow bowl.

  2. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk eggs until well blended.

  3. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko, everything bagel seasoning, and sesame seeds.

  4. Take avocado strips and coat them in flour, removing any excess.

  5. Dip the floured avocado strips into the beaten eggs.

  6. Then, coat the avocado strips in the panko mixture, gently pressing to make it stick.

  7. Transfer the coated avocado strips to a plate.

  8. Lightly spray the air-fryer basket with cooking spray.

  9. Working in batches, arrange the avocado strips in a single layer in the basket, spacing them about 1/4 apart.

  10. Spray the avocado strips with cooking spray.

  11. Cook in the air-fryer at 350°F, flipping halfway through and spraying with cooking spray, until golden and crisp. This should take around 6 to 8 minutes.

  12. Clean the breading from the basket between batches.

  13. In a small heatproof bowl, microwave the cream cheese on high until melted and smooth. This usually takes about 30 seconds.

  14. Stir in water to create a drizzleable consistency, adding more if needed.

  15. Drizzle the melted cream cheese over the avocado fries.

  16. Serve the avocado fries with lime wedges on the side.
