Ingredients
2 slices of gluten-free bread
1 ripe avocado
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon hemp or pumpkin seeds
Optional toppings: sliced tomatoes, radishes, or a drizzle of olive oil
Directions
- Toast the Bread: Begin by toasting the slices of gluten-free bread to your desired level of crispiness using a toaster or a skillet over medium heat.
- Prepare the Avocado: While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the avocado flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until you achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Avocado Toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted gluten-free bread slices. Ensure a generous layer for a creamy texture.
- Add Hemp Seeds: Sprinkle the hemp seeds over the mashed avocado. The hemp seeds not only add a slight nuttiness and crunch but also boost the nutritional value of the toast.
- Optional Toppings: If desired, add additional toppings like sliced tomatoes or radishes for extra flavor and crunch. A drizzle of olive oil can also enhance the richness of the avocado.
- Serve: Serve your “Green Dream Avocado Toast” immediately, while the toast is still warm and the avocado is fresh.
