Instructions

1
Peel and slice the avocados into wedges, about 1/2-inch thick.
2
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, egg, and beer. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.
3
Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Dip each avocado slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated, and carefully place it into the hot oil.
5
Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6
To make the ranch dip, combine sour cream, a splash of milk, dried dill, parsley, chives, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
7
To make the chipotle dip, combine mayonnaise with chipotle powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Stir until smooth.
8
Serve the hot fried avocados immediately with the two dipping sauces.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Cut avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, then slice each half into 3–4 wedges. Pat dry thoroughly before battering to help the batter adhere.
Keep the beer batter cold before use and work quickly; carbonation is what creates the airy, crispy texture, so mix just before frying.
Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature at 350°F. Temperature drops when you add cold avocado, so fry in small batches and let oil recover between rounds.
Avoid over-crowding the pan; avocados release moisture and overcrowding lowers oil temperature, leading to greasy results instead of crispy ones.

Substitutions

All-purpose flour → cornstarch (use 3/4 cup flour + 1/4 cup cornstarch for extra crispness)
Sour cream → Greek yogurt (thinner consistency; use 3 tbsp yogurt + 1 tbsp milk)
Vegetable oil → peanut oil or canola oil (same smoke point and neutral flavor)
Beer → club soda or sparkling water (1 cup, for a non-alcoholic batter with similar carbonation)

Storage & make-ahead

Fried avocados are best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day and reheated in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness.

Equipment

deep frying thermometer or instant-read thermometer · heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet (3–4 inches deep) · slotted spoon or spider strainer

Common Questions

How do you keep fried avocados from getting soggy?

Serve immediately after frying, and ensure the oil is at 350°F when you add the avocados. Let them drain on paper towels for only 30 seconds before serving.

Can you prep fried avocados ahead of time?

Beer batter is best used fresh, and fried avocados are optimal eaten immediately. You can prepare the dipping sauces up to 2 days ahead and store covered in the fridge.
