Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Slice each avocado in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pit.

Flip the avocados skin-side down and grill for another 1-2 minutes to warm through.

Step 7

Remove the avocados from the grill and place them on a serving platter.

Step 8
