It’s avocado season, and the international obsession with these fatty fruits (yes, they are fruits) has led to culinary innovations across the world. New trends in healthy eating have made avocados a staple food because of their taste, substance, and nutritional value. Beyond just adding avocado to a salad, it can be the star of its own dish. Here are some easy, avocado-based snacks that you can make for yourself at home.
Guacamole
This hearty Mexican dip is easy to make and requires few ingredients. All you need is some onion, tomato, lime juice, and of course, avocado. Some people add garlic, cilantro, and even corn. We recommend making homemade tortilla chips to go with it.
Baked Avocado
This ideal breakfast with avocado is easy to make. After halving avocados, crack an egg into the hole in the center of each. Garnish with tomatoes and green onions (or bacon and cheese if you want to indulge), and then bake in the oven until the egg is cooked to your liking.
Avocado Chips
It doesn’t seem like it would be easy, but avocado chips are simple to make. Simply mash avocado until it has a smooth and even consistency, and season as you see fit. Then spread and flatten the mixture on a baking sheet and cook until they are crisp.
