Recipe Makes (Approximate): 4 avocado halves

Equipment

  • grill see Notes
  • Cooking spray
  • Tongs

Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe avocados (halved, pits removed; see Notes)
  • 4 lime wedges (plus more for serving if desired)
  • salt (to taste)

Instructions

  • Use tongs to carefully remove avocado halves from grill. Immediately squeeze fresh lime juice over avocados (approximately 1 lime wedge per avocado half), sprinkle with salt to taste, and serve.

Recipe Notes

  • Grill: If you don't have a grill, you can use a cast-iron grill pan. The recipe instructions will stay the same.
  • Avocados: For best results, choose avocados that are ripe but still a little firm.
  • Make sure to serve the avocados immediately after cooking. They'll begin to oxidize and turn brown as they're exposed to open air.
