Avocado Slices

Ingredients

• 1/2 ripe avocado

Method

1. 01

   Choose a ripe avocado that gives gently to pressure.

2. 02

   Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit.

3. 03

   Score the flesh into long strips while still in the skin.

4. 04

   Scoop out the strips with a large spoon.

5. 05

   Serve immediately to prevent browning. A light squeeze of lemon juice helps if not serving right away.

How to offer

Place 2–3 avocado strips on the high chair tray. Avocado can be slippery, so you can roll slices in ground hemp seeds or infant cereal for grip. Supervise closely.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
