1
Prepare the Avocados
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit.
2
Oil and Season
Brush the cut sides of the avocados with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked sea salt and black pepper.
3
Char the Avocados
Place the avocados cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until charred and warm. Remove from heat.

4
Make the Chili Oil
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the olive oil and dried red chili flakes.
5
Add Garlic and Paprika
Add whole garlic cloves and smoked paprika to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
6
Infuse the Oil
Allow the mixture to heat for about 5-7 minutes, being careful not to let the oil smoke. Remove from heat and let it cool.
7
Strain the Oil
Once cooled, strain the oil through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bottle or jar, discarding the solids.
