Grilled avocado (tastes like roasted potatoes)
 
I've just tried this and it was yummm!! (and low carb!:carrot:)

Peeled and seeded 1 avocado, cut it in 1/5 inches slices, put it in a dish with a couple tablespoons lemon juice and let it rest in the fridge for 1 hour.

The heated the electric grill and let the slices cook till they look dry enough. I didn't put any seasoning on them but they tasted soooo much like potatoes!!:DI bet if I did put my usual seasoning they'd come out just sooo similar!:dizzy:

Do you do this just to put more healthy fats into your diet? Avacados are really high in calories and fat--I am sure you already know that. I do eat them but only 1/5 of one avocado about once or twice a week.

I do eat lots of the smashed cauliflower--it doesn't taste like a potato really but I can get that "fullness" that potatoes offer without the calories when I eat it. You know, you have just given me the idea to fix them like I would a potato---with my lowcal butter, maybe a grated string cheese, turkey bacon, etc. I bet it would be good.

I did dump a ton of Pico De Gayo into my cauliflower the other day. It was surprisingly tasty.

AHHHH...JUST NOTICED..LOW CARB..GOTCHA! :)

Wow! I've never thought to grill an avocado. I'm going to have to try that. We only have an outdoor grill. I'm guessing it would work ok.

I never would have thought of that either. Very curious to try it.

Ingredients

2 ears fresh corn (2 cups), kernels cut from the cob

1 chayote, peeled, seeded - cut into small dice it should be about 1-1/2 cups

2 avocados for about 1 pound, peeled, pit discarded – cut it into large chunks

1 Chile Serrano

1 spring onion (white part only) quartered

Salt

1 tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro

1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil

1/4 cup of fresh lime juice with another 1 1/2 teaspoons (you will use it for different things)

2 3/4 cups of sweet corn soup

1 1/2 cups of whole milk

1/2 cup of crema or sour cream
