Preheat your oven to 325°F. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of avocado oil onto a large baking sheet. Place a sheet of parchment paper over the oil, then use a pastry brush or the back of a spoon to spread the oil evenly across the parchment paper. This helps prevent sticking and promotes a golden-brown crust.
