Work for these hors d’oeuvres is actually done in 12 minutes; the rest is baking time. Try this recipe with smoothskinned Fuerte avocados, which have a firmer, less fatty texture and won’t turn mushy when baked. Follow these up with Szechuan Black-Eyed Pea Salad and Hoisin-Glazed Tempeh with Green Beans and Cashews.
