How to Make Beer Battered Fried Avocado Wedges

  1. Cut avocados into wedges and lightly salt them.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the beer, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Add Creole seasoning to the batter (optional, adjust to your preference).
  4. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Dip each avocado wedge into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Carefully place the battered avocado wedges into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Pair with your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
