Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium/high heat.

Bake at 425°F for about 20-30 minutes until lightly charred and crispy. Remove from heat and let cool.

Cut the avocados in half, removing the pit. Drizzle with 1 or 2 tbsp Colavita Olive Oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place, flesh-side down, onto the grill and cook until grill-marks form, about 5 minutes.
