Avocados are delicious, healthy, and versatile. They can be used in many different ways and you’ll always know you’re adding something good to your diet. If you’re struggling with cutting up an avocado morning after morning, it’s time to learn the best technique for doing this and to make your life a little bit easier. It’s simple and here are the steps you need to take.

Instructions

  • Cut it in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Be careful with the knife and stop when you reach the pit, then work in a circle and cut around the pit. Twist the halves to split them.
  • Removing the pit can be tricky, but it’s all about practice. Lay down the avocado half with the pit on a cutting board to be safe. Whack into it with the knife so the knife catches onto the pit. From here, it should be easy to twist and pull out the pit.
  • Slice however you prefer or mash with a fork in a bowl to make guacamole. After mastering this simple technique for cutting avocados, you’ll be free to experiment with different recipes on a daily basis and have fun making spreads, avocado toasts, and other delicious meals.
