Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Optional: Fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Avocados: Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Cut each half into quarter-inch thick slices.

      Mix the Breading: In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

        Prepare the Egg Wash: In another bowl, beat the eggs with the olive oil and lemon juice until fully blended.

          Bread the Avocado Slices: Dip each avocado slice into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Next, coat the slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs. Place the breaded slices on the prepared baking sheet.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the slices are golden brown and crispy. For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce!
