Grilled avocado with melted cheese and hot sauce - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Key PCOS-Friendly Ingredients: Avocado is rich in monounsaturated fats and potassium.
Healthy fats support hormone production and help your body absorb fat-soluble vitamins essential for reproductive health.
Grilling allows excess fat to drip away while creating delicious charred flavors, making it an ideal cooking method for PCOS-friendly meals. This recipe pairs well with a side of leafy greens or a simple mixed salad to add extra fiber and micronutrients to your breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce (Tabasco or Louisiana)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Slice the avocado in half and remove the stone. Prick all over with a fork, or cut criss-cross patterns with a knife. This allows the sauce to penetrate the flesh.
- Pour the sauce over each half, then top with lime juice and salt and pepper.
- In the cavity where the stone has been, put a fourth of the cheese on each avocado half. Place under the hot grill for 2 minutes.
- Top with remaining cheese and grill (broil for Americans!) for another 2 minutes until completely melted and avocado warmed through.
- Eat hot with a wedge of lime and chipotle sauce on the side!
