While a lot of avocado french fry recipes are typically made with a crust of breadcrumbs, this one pushes clean eating even further by using shredded coconut in in place of this ingredient. Although it's probably satisfying enough to bite into the fries and find that they're crispy on the outside, but soft and buttery on the inside, the recipe kicks it up a notch by serving them with a Sriracha mayonnaise. Since the fries are [baked rather than deep-fried](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skinon-fries), this is a recipe that's packed with flavor as well as pretty good for you too. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vegetable-based Fries:** Opportunity for creating innovative and healthy fry alternatives using various vegetables. - **Clean Eating:** Opportunity to explore recipes and products that adhere to clean eating principles by using wholesome, natural ingredients. - **Alternative Crusts:** Opportunity to experiment with alternative crust ingredients, such as shredded coconut, for added flavor and texture. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for food and beverage companies to develop and market innovative healthy fry alternatives. - **Health and Wellness:** Opportunity to provide products and services that cater to the clean eating trend and promote a healthy lifestyle. - **Food Packaging:** Opportunity to create packaging solutions for alternative fry products that maintain their crispiness and freshness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Enhanced Superfood Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-fries.md) - [Vegan Veggie Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-veggie-fries.md) - [Seed Oil-Free Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jesse-bens.md) - [Veggie-Packed Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-praegers-sensible-foods.md) - [Veggie-Made Avocado Oil Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-health-veggie-snacks.md) - [Two-Ingredient Organic Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-fries.md) - [Tempura-Inspired Fried Avocado Wedges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-wedges.md) - [Rippled Air-Fried Side Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-fries.md) - [Vibrant Superfood Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purple-sweet-potato-fries.md)
