Recipe Box, Grilled Avocados & Avocado Fries
The other night we had chicken fajitas
Simple grilled chicken, sauteed onions and sweet peppers,
tucked into a lightly fried flour tortilla
and drizzled with a little queso…
Paired with a side of grilled avocados, it was a wonderful meal!
These avocados couldn’t be easier to make…
Leave the skin on and cut ripe avocados in half
Remove the pit
Brush the cut sides with olive oil, drizzle with a little lemon juice
and season with salt and pepper
Put them on a medium high heated grill* cut side down
Cook for 4-6 minutes
*You can also cook these stove top in a grill pan
A light, healthy and nutritious side for just about any meal!
Avocados also make great fries!
Not quite as easy or healthy as grilled avocados,
but very delicious and a fun lo-carb change from potato fries!
Avocado slices are dipped in milk, egg, and panko bread crumbs
Then fried to crispy perfection!

Good morning, Jenna. Grilled or fried, the avocados look delicious. I know you are enjoying your time at the beach. Happy Sunday to you!
Thanks Pam, the grilled avocados are so good!
You always make those look so good, I just wish avocados were less expensive.
Thanks Carole, the grilled avocados are a new favorite, plus they’re healthy and easy to make 🙂
Love the smokiness of a grilled avocado!
Yes! Thanks Dorothy~
I love those grilled avocado halves! They look literally melt-in-mouth and creamy.
Thanks Angie, and they couldn’t be easier!
These avocado’s look amazing. I would never think to make them on the grill or into fries. Thanks for this idea Jenna. I can’t wait to make grilled avocado’s.
Thanks Julie, such a delicious and easy side dish!
I can’t wait to try the grilled avocado. I have one in the refrigerator so it will hit the grill today or tomorrow. I would love the fried version I’m sure. Pinning……
Thank you Emily, such an easy and yummy side!
Intriguing avocado recipes – a yummy idea!
Thank you, they are both tasty and a great way to add something different to the menu!
I love avocados but I never would have thought to grill them. What a good idea!
I hope you try grilling them Jeanie, easy, delicious and healthy!
Those grilled avocados are calling my name. I need something different. I usually just cut them up and pour Greek Salad dressing on them as a side.
I think you’ll love them grilled Bonnie, a nice change!
Ooh I bet that’s a great solution for avocados that are not quite ripe! I bet the grilled flavor would really wake up guacamole too! ♥
So different and so good!
I have never had a cooked avocado, but I’ve never met an avocado I didn’t love. I’ll give it a try.😀
It couldn’t be easier and it’s a nice change up from the usual side dishes!
Never heard of grilling them, bet it did add some nice flavor:@)
They are so good grilled Lynn, and so easy to do!
Jenna, I have never grilled nor fried avocados!!! I need to do this because I always have avocados in my kitchen. Thank you so much for sharing!! 🥑
Thanks Kitty, these make for fun and different sides!
Oh this sounds and looks delish, my mouth is watering! Thanks for visiting today, great to see you again!
Thank you Jain, the grilled avocados are so good!
I’m going to try those avocado fries, except I think I might try to do them in the air fryer. I’m getting old. Can’t eat the stuff I used to.😞
That’s a great idea, I’d love to know how they turn out!
I wish that I would have read this post earlier because yesterday I was using my grill (burgers and cauliflower steaks) and it would have been the perfect time to try avocados. Thanks for the great idea!
I hope you try grilling them Pattie, they are a tasty way to eat them!
