To peel an avocado, slice it in half with a paring knife being careful to slice around the hard pit in the center. Start at the top of the avocado and run your knife all the way around making two halves. Twist the halves apart. Remove the seedlike pit. Slice into wedges and then pull away the prickly skin with your fingers. Want more peeling and slicing tips? Check out this YouTube video:
