These Healthy Stuffed Avocados are the best way to enjoy ripe, creamy avocados. Lightly spiced cauliflower rice, hearty chickpeas, and your favorite toppings for the ultimate bowl of flavor. Be ready to serve in less than 25 minutes!
Preheat the oven to 400. Then, blend cauliflower in a food processor until it forms a rice.
Over medium heat, cook cauliflower with olive oil until warm (3-4min). Add in spices (I used salt and pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne but you can mix it up).
Add chickpeas to rice and cook for an additional 5+ minutes. While this is cooking, take your avocado, cut it in half lengthwise, remove the pit and scoop out a thin layer of the meat. This can be saved to be used as a topping for your cauli-rice mix or omitted completely. Lightly salt and pepper the avocado remains.
Once the rice is done, remove from heat, scoop rice into each half of the avocado, and place both filled halves in the oven on a baking sheet for 7-9 minutes.
Remove from oven and let slightly cool, and proceed to top with hot sauce, salsa, and/or nutritional yeast.
Notes
Mix it up and enjoy these stuffed avocados without baking the avocado. It's just as good!
These stuffed avocados work in the air fryer also! Just set your settings for 5-7 minutes at 375 degrees, or as desired.
For meal prepping, prep them no more than 24 hours in advance and squeeze fresh lime juice or lemon juice over the flesh of the avocado half to prevent browning
