Halve the avocado lengthwise and remove the pit. If the avocado is ripe, the flesh should yield gently to light pressure and the skin should peel away cleanly.
Place the halves cut-side up on a cutting board or plate. Drizzle each half with the olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle evenly with the flaky sea salt and black pepper and red pepper flakes, if using.
