In a bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Keep it slightly chunky for texture.

Stir and continue cooking until tender and caramelized, about 5–7 minutes total.

Pour in soy sauce (and maple syrup if using). Toss and let it bubble for 1–2 minutes until glossy and lightly glazed.
