How to Peel an Avocado
Equipment
- 1 knife
Materials
- 1 avocado
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, slice the avocado, starting at the stem.
- Once the knife hit the pit, slice all the way around the pit.
- Using your hands. Separate it into two halves by twisting it to both sides.
- Take the avocado slice with the pit in it, and gently press down on the outer surface of the avocado to push the pit out(Just like you remove yolk from a hard boiled egg).
- Discard the pit.
- Gently peel the skin to slice or chop the avocado flesh, or scoop out the flesh with a spoon to mash avocado.
