Getting Started
- Choose avocados that are firm but yield slightly to gentle pressure. Overripe avocados can become mushy when baked, while underripe ones will remain hard.
- Bake avocado halves at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. This ensures a creamy, warm interior without overcooking. For stuffed avocados, add 5-10 minutes if the filling requires extra cooking time.
- To prevent browning and add a bright note, brush cut avocado surfaces with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice before baking. This also enhances flavor.
- When making 'fries' or other breaded avocado dishes, utilize gluten-free alternatives like almond flour, coconut flour, or certified gluten-free breadcrumbs for coating. A light spray of oil before baking helps achieve a crisp exterior.
