Avocados

Sautéed Garlic

Roasted Tomato Pico

Grilled Baguette

Method

Grilling Avocados

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Grill the Avocados

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the avocados cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the avocados are slightly softened. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Sautéing Garlic

  1. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a small skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Making Roasted Tomato Pico

  1. 4

    Roasting Tomatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the Roma tomatoes in half and place them on a baking sheet, skin side down. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and caramelized.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Pico

    Once the tomatoes are roasted, chop them finely. In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and season with salt to taste. Mix well and set aside.

Grilling Baguette

  1. 6

    Prepare the Baguette

    Cut the baguette diagonally into slices. Brush each slice lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder.

  2. 7

    Grill the Baguette

    Place the baguette slices on the grill and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove from grill.
