The Easiest Way to Make Avocado Oil

Ingredients

• Ripe avocados (as many as you’d like)

Instructions

1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
2. Mash the avocado flesh well until smooth.
3. Place the mashed avocado in a large pan or pot.
4. Turn the stove to low heat. Cook the avocado slowly, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
5. Continue heating until you see the oil separating from the pulp (this can take about 30–45 minutes).
6. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
7. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean container to collect the oil.
8. Store your homemade avocado oil in an airtight jar or bottle in a cool, dark place.
