Frequently Asked Questions
Avocado is usually eaten raw or uncooked. In this pizza recipe, it is only in the oven a brief time to allow the cheese on top to melt.
Place your uncut avocado in the fridge to keep it fresh until you are ready to use it. This will slow ripening and make it last a bit longer.
