These are a real treat, and easy to make. Used leftover teriyaki mixture from Mark Bittman's Cabbage Teriyaki Steaks as a dipping sauce.
In the 60's we made this and called in avocado tempura.
Not fan of panko, gluten containing or not; it just tastes funny. Try a tempura batter made with egg and corn starch or rice flour. Tempura is crunchy and light, should be terrific with avocado.
Add a squeeze of lime!
These were a tasty treat! Definitely needed a heavy hand on the salt. I used a siracha mayo for a dipping sauce. The heat was a perfect balance to the creamy avocado. Looking forward to making them again!
Delicious - add some grated fresh Parmesan to the panko
