How do I freeze avocados so I always have some on hand?

Avocados are rather tricky. It seems that every time I buy them, they are either unripe or spoil within a day. Avocados also tend to be quite expensive, so seeing them spoil is even more disappointing! Luckily, avocados can be easily frozen so you can have perfectly ripe avocados whenever you want.

Jodi Brown reveals that to freeze avocados properly, simply cut them lengthwise and remove the pit. Arrange the halved avocados on a biscuit sheet in a single layer, and place the entire biscuit sheet in the freezer. Jodi suggests freezing them overnight, but a few hours is also fine.

Next, remove the individual frozen avocados with a spatula and put them in a sealable bag. Freezing the avocados on the baking sheet before moving them to the bag will ensure they don’t freeze together in one giant clump. When you need an avocado for something, just take one out of the bag before putting it back in the freezer! You can either thaw the avocado (if you’re making guacamole, for instance), or stick the frozen avocado right in the blender for a smoothie.
