How to grind dried avocado pits into powder (food processor or coffee grinder)
Chop dried avocado pits, then grind in a processor (or coffee grinder) until as fine as you want.
After peeling, cut the pit into smaller pieces and grind. The video shows using a food processor and, if available, switching to a finer blade set to get a more powdery result. A coffee/bean grinder is mentioned as an alternative tool.
The short version
- Chop first, then grind.
- If you have multiple blade options, a second pass with a finer blade makes a more powdery result.

How to do it
- 1
Peel the dried avocado pit and cut it into smaller pieces.
Smaller pieces grind more easily.
Watch this step - 2
Add the pieces to a food processor (or use a coffee/bean grinder).
Watch this step - 3
Grind until you reach the texture you want; if your processor has multiple blade sets, grind with a coarser set first, then switch to a finer set to make it more powdery.
Stop and check texture as you go.

What goes wrong
Putting large chunks in the grinder
Cut the pit into smaller pieces before grinding.
Expecting a fine powder in one pass
Grind in stages and/or switch to a finer blade set if available.
Why it works
Pre-chopping reduces strain on the grinder and helps it process evenly; using a finer blade stage produces a finer powder.

Use the oven as an alternative to an air fryer for finishing the pizza
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can finish cooking the topped pizza in the oven instead.

After topping the base, cook it in an air fryer at 180°C for about 7 minutes to melt cheese and heat through.
Expect a small end piece to remain in the feed tube when shredding/slicing
When shredding or slicing in a food processor, the last small piece often doesn’t feed through cleanly and may stick near the top.
