FAQ

What is the best way to cook avocado?

Garrison Price, executive chef at New York City’s Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria, says grilling is “my go-to move if they’re a little underripe” because it “warms up the fat on the inside, [which] kind of tenderizes it.” Grilling avocados can also hasten the ripening process.

Can you grill an unripe avocado?

Avocados can also be grilled, making them a great side dish, especially for grilled meats. To grill an avocado, simply cut it in half, remove the seed, drizzle with lemon juice, brush with olive oil, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
