Avocado oil is more than just a healthy alternative — it’s a kitchen staple that can transform everyday meals into something deliciously nourishing. Here are ten simple ways to bring cold-pressed avocado oil, like the one we craft at The Avo Keeper, into your cooking.
1. Roasted Vegetables
Toss carrots, kumara, and broccoli with avocado oil, salt, and herbs. Roast until caramelised for a nutrient-packed side.
2. Stir-Fry Base
Avocado oil’s high smoke point makes it perfect for quick, hot stir-fries with noodles or rice.
3. Avocado Oil Hummus
Blend chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a generous splash of avocado oil for a silky dip.
4. BBQ Marinades
Whisk avocado oil with garlic, soy sauce, and honey for a rich chicken or tofu marinade.
5. Homemade Mayonnaise
Swap processed oils with avocado oil for a creamy, wholesome mayo.
6. Salad Dressings
Shake together avocado oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and herbs for a quick dressing.
7. Baking Substitute
Use avocado oil instead of butter in muffins or banana bread for a lighter texture.
8. Pan-Seared Fish
Drizzle avocado oil on fresh fish fillets before searing — it locks in flavour without smoking.
9. Popcorn Drizzle
Skip the butter and drizzle warm avocado oil with a sprinkle of sea salt over popcorn.
10. Smoothie Boost
Add a spoonful of avocado oil to green smoothies for a creamy texture and extra nutrients.
