Do you have a hankering for creamy, ripe avocado but only have a rock-hard one at home? No worries! You can turn that firm avocado into spread-ready goodness in just minutes with a little help from your microwave. Here’s a simple, no-fuss method to speed up the ripening process when you’re in a pinch.
What You’ll Need:
A firm, unripe avocado
A microwave-safe dish
A paper towel
Step-by-Step Guide:
