**Avocado Wedges**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 ripe avocados
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 eggs
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Carefully scoop out the flesh of each avocado half with a spoon, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the avocado.
3. In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs until well beaten. In a separate dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. Dip each avocado wedge into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it completely. Allow any excess egg to drip off before transferring the wedge to the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Coat the avocado wedge evenly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere. Repeat this process with the remaining avocado wedges.
6. Place the coated avocado wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove from the oven and let the avocado wedges cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm as a delightful snack or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce.
