Summer Series: Avocado Toast

This is how to make my absolute favorite version of avocado toast. And trust me, I have had hundreds… more often than not, avo toast is the only vegan option on a Sunday brunch menu, so we have become great friends.

(Btw, I have a couple bread recipes up that would make excellent toast: Crusty Italian and Country Wheat)

Ingredients:

• Your favorite bread

• Ripe avocado

• Olive oil

• Garlic powder

• Onion powder

• Smoked paprika

• Salt and black pepper

• Sesame seeds

• Pine nuts

• Microgreens of choice (or arugula)

Instructions:

1. Toast your bread to perfection (whatever that means to you… I like crispy and dark, though some would call that “burned…”)

2. Slice 1/4 - 1/2 an avocado and add some slices to your toast (all measurements are up to you here!) and mash down a bit with a fork.

3. Drizzle on some olive oil.

4. Sprinkle on top:

   —Garlic powder

   —Onion powder

   —Smoked paprika

   —Salt and pepper

5. Top with sesame seeds, pine nuts, and microgreens (or arugula)

6. Enjoy!
