Ingredients
- 1 large slice of bread
- 1 large ripe avocado (green goodness alert!)
- Juice of 1 lemon (zesty zing!)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sprinkle of Japanese Nanami Togarashi or chilli flakes (spice it up!)
- Basil and tomatoes (to serve)
This ingredient list is basically a plant-powered party on your plate! Whether you’re a kitchen newbie or just here to flex your flexitarian muscles, this combo keeps it fresh, fun, and totally avocado-awesome. Who knew toast could get so fancy without any fuss?
How to Make It
Making this avocado on toast is like the easiest thing you’ll do all day—seriously, it’s a quick win for your taste buds. Grab a large slice of bread and pop it in the toaster.
While it’s doing its thing, scoop out the flesh of one large ripe avocado into a small bowl. Don’t go all smooth operator on it; leave a bit of chunky texture because who wants mushy mush? Smooshing it with a fork gives you that perfect creamy-yet-chunky vibe. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon—this little citrusy ninja keeps your avocado from turning that sad brown color. Nobody wants a sad, brown avocado.
Once your toast is gloriously golden, give it a cheeky drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. This isn’t just for looks; it adds a silky, rich layer that makes each bite sing.
Then, spread your chunky avocado mix all over like you’re painting a masterpiece. Now, here’s where it gets fun: sprinkle a bit of Japanese Nanami Togarashi or chilli flakes on top for a gentle kick that wakes up your mouth without launching a fire alarm.
Serve it up with some fresh basil and juicy tomatoes on the side—because why not add a little garden party to your plate? Boom, you just made avocado toast like a pro, no fancy kitchen gadgets required.
Bonus Tips
- Feeling fancy? Swap basil for fresh mint and watch your toast become a mint-condition masterpiece.
- If your avocado’s shy, give it a sprinkle of hemp seeds for a crunch that screams “I’m plant-powered!”
- Too chill for chili? Swap those flakes for a drizzle of maple syrup—because avocado toast deserves a sweet side hustle.
