Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.3 teaspoons salt optional
Instructions
- Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a large bowl. Discard the skins.
- Pour 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice over the avocado flesh. This is the key step — the acid prevents browning and keeps your frozen avocado vibrant green.
- Add 0.3 teaspoons salt (optional) if desired. This enhances flavour and makes the frozen slices more versatile straight from the freezer.
- Mash everything together with a fork until smooth. A few small chunks are totally fine — this doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth like guacamole.
- Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a flat baking tray or cutting board. Spread the mashed avocado into an even rectangle or circle, about 1–1.5 cm thick. Think of it like spreading cake batter.
- Transfer the tray to the freezer and freeze until completely solid.
- Once frozen, use a sharp knife to score and slice the avocado slab into individual portions — wedges, squares, or strips, whatever size works best for how you’ll use it.
- Transfer the slices to a zip-lock freezer bag or airtight container, separating layers with small parchment squares to prevent sticking. Store for up to 3 months.

Notes
Best uses for frozen slices: smoothies, avocado toast (thaw 10–15 min at room temp), guacamole, salad dressings, and dips.
Thawing tip: for the creamiest texture, thaw in the fridge overnight rather than at room temperature.
Ripeness matters: only freeze avocados that are fully ripe (dark skin, slight give when pressed) — underripe avocados won’t mash well and will taste bitter after freezing.
Lemon vs lime: lime juice works just as well and adds a subtle flavour twist great for Mexican-inspired dishes.
