Yeah…I don’t really have much to say about this recipe since I think it pretty much speaks for itself. You usually have to deep fry, or at least shallow fry these fries, but because I have an engagement party to get to this weekend (why is everyone getting married?!), calorie consumption discretion is highly advised.
The trouble is, more often than not, when anything breaded is baked it comes out of the oven either deathly pale or scarily charred (because of attempts of getting the crust to be golden brown, like that achieved by frying). But have no fear, because this ingredient is going to come to the rescue.
That’s right. Melted butter.
When you coat the panko breadcrumbs in some of this baby before baking, the coating comes out beautifully golden brown. Butter fixes everything, I tell you.
BAKED AVOCADO FRIES:
[ 1/4 cup flour + 1 teaspoon kosher salt + freshly ground black pepper + 1 large egg, beaten + 1 1/4 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs) + 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoon melted butter + 2 firm-ripe medium avocados ]
Pit, peel and slice the avocados into 1/2-inch wedges
Combine the melted butter with the panko breadcrumbs. Stir with a fork so that the crumbs are coated evenly.
Season the flour with salt and pepper. Set out three different shallow containers; one for the egg, one for the seasoned flour and one for the buttered panko.
Coat avocado slices in the four, then egg, then panko.
Spread on a cooling rack that has been sprayed with non-stick spray, then place on a cookie sheet.
Spray the top of the wedges with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, then bake for about 20 minutes at 450, or until they are golden brown.
See how the butter makes the breadcrumb turn all golden and pretty?
“Oh, but you’re using the ‘shade’ white balance setting, that’s why it looks all golden!”, you say.
Well then let’s get off the shade white balance and use the Auto setting.
Still golden brown, right? I’m happy. You should be too.

A whole new world of magic animals, brave young princes and evil witches has come to light with the discovery of 500 new fairytales, which were locked away in an archive in Regensburg, Germany for over 150 years. The tales are part of a collection of myths, legends and fairytales, gathered by the local historian Franz Xaver von Schönwerth (1810–1886) in the Bavarian region of Oberpfalz at about the same time as the Grimm brothers were collecting the fairytales that have since charmed adults and children around the world.
“Last year, the Oberpfalz cultural curator Erika Eichenseer published a selection of fairytales from Von Schönwerth’s collection, calling the book Prinz Roßzwifl. This is local dialect for “scarab beetle”. The scarab, also known as the “dung beetle”, buries its most valuable possession, its eggs, in dung, which it then rolls into a ball using its back legs. Eichenseer sees this as symbolic for fairytales, which she says hold the most valuable treasure known to man: ancient knowledge and wisdom to do with human development, testing our limits and salvation.”

Monte, approaching full derp.
The weather is finally nice, so he got the three tennis ball treatment.
“What’s that?” You say, wondering what I could possibly make Monte do with three tennis balls that he won’t do with one.
Well for one, he doesn’t drop a tennis ball, for hardly anything. And that includes stinky (salmon) treats. It makes it hard to keep him running around the yard because if I chase him to get the ball he likes it, then when he wants a break he hides in the bushes.
If I have three tennis balls, well, then we activate Monte’s weakness.
No matter what, he will chase the ball.
If he has one, and wants to do a “flyby” (when I tell him to bring the ball to me and he cruises past, just out of reach) all I do is throw another ball to the opposite part of the yard and he sprints after it.
He can carry more than one toy in his mouth, and does, but more than one tennis ball is hard. So I just do this and collect the other two, keeping him running around the yard.
And there you go. The result: full derp.
