To Freeze Dry Guacamole
- Start with fully ripe (but not overripe) avocados.
- Pit and skin them, then mash them in a bowl (leave it as chunky or make it as smooth as you like it).
- Squeeze in fresh lime juice and salt, then mix until well incorporated.
- Do a taste test and adjust seasonings as needed. You should be able to taste the avocado with a slight citrus zing. Again, this is to preference.
- If adding additional ingredients, go ahead and chop and mix them into the guacamole at this time.
- Taste and adjust, again to preference.
- Spread guacamole onto the silicone-lined freeze dryer trays.
- Freeze dry.
- Once guacamole is completely dry, crumble it up into pieces and store it in a glass Mason jar or mylar bag. For extra smooth and creamy guacamole, you could pulse the freeze dried guacamole in a food processor until it’s completely powdered.
Notes
- Because this recipe is dependent on how many avocados you have, there are no ingredient measurements listed. Simply chop as many avocados you want to freeze dry, or make up your guacamole however you enjoy it for fresh eating.
