To crumb the avocado, prepare three separate bowls with flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs, and arrange in assembly line order of flour, eggs and breadcrumbs.
Slice avocados lengthwise, remove pip and skin and cut into wedges
Dip wedges in flour, followed by egg and then crumbs, place on a baking sheet and repeat until all the wedges are coated.
Drizzle the oil over the wedges and bake until golden brown around 20 – 25 minutes. Alternatively heat oil in a shallow frying pan and fry in batches until golden (roughly 8 – 10 minutes on each side).
