Baked Breaded Avocado Fries

I usually just eat avocados raw with a dash
of salt or in a guacamole type of a dish.
I saw this recipe and had to try it.
They're crunchy and creamy at the same time.

Ingredients:
2-3 slightly firm avocados
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts
3 teaspoons Cajun seasoning, divided
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup flour or pancake mix
1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
pinch of sea salt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon ranch dressing

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F.
Coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
Remove pit from avocados. Slice and peel.
Each avocado should yield 8 pieces.
Combine panko, Parmesan, pine nuts and
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning in food processor
and pulse until combined. Pour into a shallow dish.
Whisk the egg, remaining teaspoon Cajun seasoning
and olive oil in a shallow dish.
Pour flour or dry pancake mix in third dish.
To bread the avocado slices,
dip each piece first in flour,
then egg wash, then breading.
Place on baking sheet and cook
for 15-20 minutes, or until evenly browned.
While fries are baking, combine yogurt,
salt, lemon juice, cilantro,
and ranch dressing in a bowl.
Serve fries hot with dipping sauce.
