GRILLED AVOCADOS
Had some ripe avocados left over. They were extras from guacamole the previous weekend. So I gave this quick and extremely easy recipe a shot on the grill, and the wife and kids loved it. Fresh ones are good too. Use paprika instead of the chipotle and chili powder for less spicy. Canola oil can be substituted for olive oil if desired.

Whisk your friends to the South of France with this delicious take on the Provençal tradition of le grand aioli. Nearly every component in this grand spread is served chilled or room temp, so it's largely make-ahead.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are deep green or black in color, and slightly soft when pressed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have brown spots.
- Use a grill pan or a regular skillet: If you have a grill pan, that's great! But you can also use a regular skillet. Just make sure it's large enough to fit the avocado halves.
- Grill the avocado on medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the avocado, while keeping the inside creamy and tender.
- Don't overcook the avocado: Keep a close eye on the avocado while it's grilling. It should only take a few minutes per side, or until it's slightly charred and heated through.
- Season the avocado with your favorite toppings: Once the avocado is grilled, you can season it with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.
- Serve the avocado on toast: Grilled avocado is a delicious and healthy addition to toast. You can also serve it on a bed of greens, or as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish.
Conclusion:
Grilled avocado is a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to add healthy fats and fiber to your diet, and it's also a good source of vitamins and minerals. If you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy avocados, give grilled avocado a try. You won't be disappointed!
