Speeding up the Ripening Process. 1. Place unripe avocados in a paper bag. Avocados will naturally ripen on their own at room temperature on the counter. You can also speed up the ripening process so the avocados will be ready to use in two to three days. To hasten the ripening, put the avocados into a paper bag and fold the top of the bag over on itself twice. Avocados naturally create something called ethylene gas, which makes fruit ripen faster.
