Instructions

Preheat grill: Heat grill to medium-high (around 400°F). Clean and oil the grates.
Prep avocados: Slice avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Leave the skin on. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill: Place avocados cut side down on the grill. Grill for 2–3 minutes, just until grill marks appear and the surface is lightly charred.
Serve: Remove from grill and let cool slightly. Fill the center with your favorite toppings and enjoy warm.

Notes

Use avocados that are just ripe but still firm so they hold up on the grill.
Try filling with pico de gallo, black beans, shrimp, or even eggs for a fun twist.
Squeeze with fresh lime juice for brightness right before serving.
