June is California Avocado Month and I am so excited to be working with the California Avocado Commission on this Curry-Flavored Baked Avocado Wedges recipe.
June is the peak season for California avocados and there is no better time to enjoy the fruit.
When you have perfect avocados, you don’t need a complicated recipe. This Asian-inspired recipe calls for only five ingredients.
The curry powder adds a new dimension and taste structure to the avocado, and turn the fruit into a crowd-pleaser appetizer that you can serve the entire summer.
As avocado is creamy and soft in texture, I used Japanese panko (bread crumbs) and sweet coconut flakes to coat the flesh.
After baking, they become extremely crispy.
Every bite is crunchy, creamy, with the aromatic nuance from the curry powder.
Serve the avocado wedges with your favorite ranch dipping sauce and you have the perfect finger food.
The sweetest thing of all is the simplicity of this recipe as it takes about 20 minutes to make them.
If you come across California Avocado in your farmers market or grocery stores, remember to pick them up and try my recipe.
Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 4 California Avocados

- 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Spectacularly yummy, but I don’t know how “healthy.” Since the average female over 25 and with a normally active lifestyle only needs to eat 1800 calories, this is a big chunk of one’s daily consumption. For those of us over 50, this drops to 1600. This recipe doesn’t specify the avocado size–I made it with small ones, and only ate a couple of these incredibly delicious slices while the rest of the family pigged out and polished them off. I’m sure it’s a healthier choice than french fires which have been limited to 1 or 2 pieces for most of my life.

I think there is a typo in this recipe. Curry powder is listed in the ingredients 2x but isn’t in the method 2x.
Ken
1/2 teaspoon or 1 teaspoon curry powder in avocado wedges? You have both in your recipe.
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Ken, it was corrected. Typo. Just need 1 teaspoon curry powder.
Crystal
In your ingredients, you listed 1/2 tsp curry powder and also 1 tsp curry powder. Is it 1 1/2 tsps total?
