How to make avo roses – a step-by-step guide

You’ve likely seen pictures of avo roses on the internet – and if you haven’t yet, they’re bound to pop onto your radar soon! They look exquisite and impressive, but are deceptively easy to make.

Here’s how to make avo roses:

STEP 1:

Cut an avocado in half, and remove the pit and skin and discard. Don’t use an avo that’s overripe – it should be just perfectly ripe. If it’s too ripe you’ll end up with a mushy mess.

STEP 2:

Place one half of the avocado, cut-side down, on a chopping board and slice thinly widthways. Slicing the avo thinly will ensure your rose is easy to shape.

STEP 3:

Fan the avocado slices out to form a long row, with the slices slightly overlapping each other.

STEP 4:

Starting from one end, curl the avocado slices towards the centre, continuing curling until you’ve crafted a rose, then fan out the slices slightly.

STEP 5:

Serve your avocado rose atop salads, buttery toast or anywhere else you fancy!
