Add a photoHave you never thought to caramelized an avocado? Think again! This easy idea comes from the California Avocado Board.
Ingredients
- 1 Haas avocado, peeled, seeded, and sliced into 12 thick slices or halves, depending on use
- 1 Tablespoons sugar
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Extra-virgin olive oil for greasing pan
Directions
- Grease a small non-stick frying pan lightly, with only enough olive oil to coat bottom of pan. Heat over medium heat.
- For Avocado Halves:
- Sprinkle one side of avocado halves with sugar, salt, and pepper. Add avocado halves to the heated pan. Cook until sugar has caramelized to a golden color, about 2 minutes. Turn gently with a spatula and cook for about 30 seconds more, just enough to heat through. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- For Avocado Slices:
- Sprinkle one side of the avocado slices with sugar, salt, and pepper. Add the slices to the heated pan. Cook until sugar has caramelized to a golden color, 1 to 2 minutes. Gently turn the slices with a spatula, sprinkle the second side with sugar, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute or until sugar has caramelized (this step is optional--you can simply turn and heat for 30 seconds if you prefer not to caramelize the second side). Remove to a plate and set aside.
