Learn how to cut an avocado into quarters—and remove the pit without a wielding a sharp knife

The first time I ever saw someone’s method for how to cut an avocado, I had ordered tableside guacamole at a restaurant. The server sliced the fruit in half, removed the pit with a sharp knife and then spooned the fruit into a bowl. I saw countless people do it this way—Food Network stars, cookbook manuals and my own parents. I always figured that scooping the fruit from the flesh was the only way to do it.
Luckily, there’s a better way to cut an avocado! This method makes it easy to peel the skin from an avocado for beautiful quarters, which makes it easier for you to eat an avocado every day. Here’s what you need to know.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to cut an avocado:

1. Wash the avocado under running water and dry it with a clean towel or cloth. You don't need to peel the skin before cutting.

2. Place the avocado on a stable, flat surface with the stem facing upward.

3. Insert the point of a sharp knife into the avocado lengthwise, about halfway through the fruit (along one of its long sides). Rotate the knife around the seed to score it evenly all the way around. Twist the two halves gently to separate them.

4. Tap the pit firmly against the side of your cutting board to remove it from one half of the avocado. Alternatively, use the back of a spoon to push the pit out of the hollow in the avocado.

5. Gently tapping the rounded edge of the knife blade, carefully pry open the halved avocado so that the exposed flesh remains intact.

6. To slice each half into sections, insert the tip of the knife at an angle along the inner curvature of the avocado half, then move it across to the other side while keeping the knife parallel to the cutting board. Repeat this process until you have four to six sections per half. Be careful not to apply too much pressure as avocados can be quite fragile.

7. If desired, you can now twist and lift off individual slices for serving, or leave the sections attached within their halves if you prefer. Enjoy!
