17 Unexpected Ways to Enjoy an Avocado

One of the most versatile of fruits, avocados can do no wrong. (Yes, it’s a fruit, and while we’re at it, it’s also a berry) The creamy, subtle flavor enables avocados to slip into both classic and novel recipes, replacing traditional ingredients to create unexpected, tasty dishes.

From chocolate-dipped avocado popsicles (dreamy) to savory, melty avocado quesadillas (ungh), there’s an infinite amount of ways to indulge in nature’s green butter. We picked our top 17 favorite avocado-friendly recipes, taking into account simplicity, next-level originality and difficulty level. Most of these are super easy to whip up as a snack. I mean, come on, a gooey egg baked in an avocado? Hello, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
