Ingredients
4largeavocados*
1tbspolive oilor avocado oil
salt
black pepper
Instructions
Preheat all burners of a gas grill on high while you prep the avocados. 5-10 minutes of heating should be sufficient.
In the meantime, cut each avocado in half by running a sharp chef’s knife around the pit. Then remove the pit, either using a spoon, or by whacking the pit with the knife enough to embed it, then tugging the knife out and the pit along with it.
Brush each avocado half with olive oil, then sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Place each avocado cut-side down on the preheated grill for 2 minutes. Do not close the lid. Then turn each avocado half 90 degrees, and cook for 2 more minutes, again with the lid open.
Remove the avocados from the grill, and serve right away. They will brown if left out too long.
Notes
*The avocados should ideally be slightly underripe so there are no black spots. Quantity: You can make as many or as few avocados as you like. It does not matter. Scale as you please.Storage: The avocados will brown if you try to store them. Plan to only make as many as you intend to eat.
