I remember the first time I tried grilled avocado. I was at a small bistro in San Francisco, and I was a bit skeptical, to be honest. Avocado? On the grill? But one bite, and I was hooked. The warmth brought out a nuttiness I'd never noticed before, and the balsamic glaze added a touch of sweetness that was just divine. I’ve tinkered with the recipe over the years, adding my own little flourishes, and this version, well, it’s pretty darn close to perfect if you ask me. I was feeling a bit under the weather last week, but making this simple dish brought so much joy
This isn’t just a recipe; it’s an invitation to experience avocado in a whole new light. It’s perfect as a light lunch, a side dish with grilled chicken or fish, or even as a gourmet topping for your favorite salad. What does this recipe mean for you? It's a chance to transform an ordinary ingredient into something extraordinary, wowing your family or friends (or just yourself!) with minimal effort. Trust me, once you try it, you'll be making it again and again. I know how hard it can be to trust new recipes. When was the last time you failed at making a new dish?

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Avocados: Carefully slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Be gentle to keep the halves intact.
- Brush with Oil: Lightly brush the cut sides of the avocado with olive oil or avocado oil. This prevents sticking and helps create those beautiful grill marks.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat (around 350-400°F or 175-200°C). Make sure the grates are clean to avoid any unwanted flavors.
- Grill the Avocados: Place the avocado halves cut-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes, or until you see nice grill marks and the avocado is slightly softened but still holds its shape. Keep a close eye to prevent burning!
- Remove from Grill: Using a spatula, carefully remove the grilled avocado halves from the grill and place them on a serving plate.
- Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Generously drizzle the balsamic glaze over the grilled avocado halves. Don't be shy – that sweet and tangy flavor is what makes this dish sing.
- Sprinkle with Sea Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each avocado half. The salt enhances the sweetness of the balsamic and the richness of the avocado.
- Serve Immediately: Serve the grilled avocados immediately while they're still warm. You can add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little kick, if you're feeling adventurous.
📝 Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a squeeze of lime juice after grilling.
- If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan on your stovetop or even broil the avocados in the oven.
