Avocado toast has become one of the most popular breakfast dishes worldwide especially in the past 10 years or so, that even speciality restaurants/ cafe are selling only Avocado toast!
It is more than just spreading smashed avocado on top of toasted bread, it is so versatile and topping choices are endless. It can be Vegan or Gluten free as well.
While the internet is full of recipes, I am sharing my Vegan and healthy avocado toast recipes, which I hope you will enjoy.
How to make Avocado Toast?
- It all starts with picking the right Avocados. I love to use Mexican Hass Avocado, I found it to be the creamiest and tastiest.
- Next choosing the bread, I prefer to use sourdough, sometimes Gluten-free sourdough whenever I can find it. Once you pick your bread, make sure to toast it whether in the toaster, or oven or just heat a pan with olive oil and toast it to perfection.
- Prep your avocado, by cutting it in half and scooping the flesh. Now it’s a matter of personal preference whether you like your Avocado chunky or smooth. I like mine in different ways depending on the toppings I am using , i like it into slices, sometimes chunky and sometimes smashed into creamy paste.
- The most important step is to squeeze a lemon or lime on your avocado as soon as u smash it, this will prevent the Avocado from turning black due to the oxidation process.
- Once your bread is toasted and your Avocado is ready, you can add it to the toast, sprinkle salt and pepper, and there you have the most basic and simple avocado toast!
- Topping choices are endless, and in this recipe, I am sharing my go-to healthy and plant-based toppings ideas.
