Getting Started
- Choose firm but ripe avocados. Overripe avocados become mushy when baked, while underripe ones remain hard. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- Do not overbake. Avocado's texture can quickly turn unpleasant if cooked too long. Aim for 10-15 minutes at 180-200°C (350-400°F) until just warmed through and slightly tender.
- For stuffed avocados, scoop out a small amount of flesh from the center to create a larger cavity for fillings. This removed flesh can be diced and added to your filling.
- To prevent browning, a squeeze of lemon or lime juice over the cut avocado surfaces before baking can help maintain its vibrant green color.
