How to Grill an Avocado
Whether sliced into wedges or halved, something extraordinary happens when ethically sourced California Avocados are grill kissed – developing a subtle smoky flavor and gorgeous char marks that elevate any summer meal. Grilled avocado slices are a stunning topper to fresh summer salads, or paired with grilled poultry, meats, seafood, and vegetables. Gorgeous grilled avocado halves become the perfect vessels for fresh fillings like vibrant mango salsa, zesty shrimp salad, or classic caprese with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella.

How to Grill an Avocado
00
Cook Time6 Minutes
Ingredients
1 California avocado
1 lemon or lime
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt, to taste
Directions
- Cut washed avocado in half and remove the seed. For slices, peel and slice to desired thickness.
- Drizzle the flesh with fresh lime or lemon juice and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Gently place the slices or halves on a heated grill – this can be done over a gas grill or on a kitchen grill pan on medium-high heat.
- If grilling slices: Grill on each side for 2 to 3 minutes until you get beautiful grill marks.
- If grilling halves: Gently place cut side down on your preferred grill and cook for 2 minutes or until you get grill marks. Then turn the avocado 90 degrees to get cross-grill marks. Let it cook for 2 more minutes and remove.
- Season with salt to taste and serve.
