Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocados
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice each avocado in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pit.
Brush the flesh side of each avocado half with olive oil to prevent sticking and aid with grilling.
Season the avocados with salt and black pepper, and chili flakes if desired, for extra spice.
Place the avocados flesh-side down directly onto the hot grill grates. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear.
Flip the avocados skin-side down and grill for another 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Remove the avocados from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the grilled avocados for brightness and garnish with chopped cilantro if using.
Serve warm as-is or as a versatile addition to salads, tacos, or grain bowls.
