40 amazing avocado recipes (2024)

It doesn’t seem like the world’s obsession with avocado is going anywhere fast.

And for good reason; rich, creamy and totally delicious, everyone’s favourite fruit is packed full of healthy fats, fibre, magnesium, protein and potassium, which gives us the perfect excuse to keep eating it.

But there’s a whole lot more you can do to up your avo intake without involving guac or smash on toast, foodies – it’s time to branch out.

Click through the gallery for some new ways to cook with avocado – but we’ve included guacamole and smash too (because some days you just can’t go past the classics).
