Instructions

- Add the avocado oil, honey, lemon juice, liquid aminos (or soy sauce), rice vinegar, garlic, and black pepper (the marinade ingredients) to a small bowl or measuring cup. Mix together until everything is well combined. If your honey isn’t mixing easily, microwave the marinade for 30 seconds, or until everything stirs together easily without any effort.
