I like avocados. They are good for you and I buy them often. I use them on my salads and make guacamole. And now I found something even more special to do with them. I make crunchy baked avocado fries. But not just crunchy because these fries are super crunchy. They are also scrumptious and great for snacks or as a side dish. Try it, you'll like it.
