The Oven Hack For Ripening Avocados Instantly
By Megan Anderson
There's nothing more frustrating than reaching for an avocado and realizing it's rock-solid. Fortunately, this oven hack will soften your avocados in a flash.
Start by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrap as many avocados as you need in foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Once the oven comes to temperature, heat the avocados for about 10 minutes or a bit longer if they're extra hard. When the time is up, they should be soft enough to use.
If the avocado is too warm for your liking, place it in the refrigerator to chill. While this hack will soften the avocados' texture, it won't actually ripen it.
Although the avocados will be soft enough to use, the taste will be more on par with an unripe avocado, and the texture will be somewhat stringy and not as smooth.
