Information on the ingredients
*This is an overview of the ingredients in this avocado toast. For ingredient amounts and complete instructions, scroll down to the recipe box below.
- Bread: Use any bread you like. Large pieces are best so they can fit a lot of avocado mixture.
- Avocado: The star of avocado toast is, of course, the avocado. You want it to be a little soft when you press, but not too soft.
- Garlic Powder: This adds a strong savory flavor to your avocado toast.
- Green Onion: Chopped green onion or chives add flavor.
- Nutritional Yeast: Some people don’t like nutritional yeast, but I think it really adds to this recipe. You can leave it out if you really don’t like it.
- Ground black pepper (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Tips for making avocado toast
- Make sure your avocado is perfectly ripe before slicing. When you give it a light pressure it should be a little soft. If it’s too firm, let it mature outside the fridge for a day or two before using.
- The easiest way to mash the avocado is with a fork on a plate. I see so many people trying to mash the avocado with a fork in a bowl, but the angle of the bowl makes it very difficult! A flat surface on a plate is much easier to work with.
- Use fairly large slices of bread to fit more avocado. If you’re using gluten-free bread, I suggest the Little Northern Bakehouse Whole Grain Wide Slice bread Their regular slices are quite small, so wide slices work much better.
Substitutions and additions
There are so many ways to make avocado toast, so feel free to make any changes you like!
- If you don’t like nutritional yeast, you can simply remove it from the recipe.
- The ground black pepper and red pepper flakes are optional, but really elevate the taste in my opinion. Make sure not to use too much if you don’t want it very spicy.
- Feel free to add any seasoning you like.
- Instead of green onion, you can use chopped onion or sliced red onion if it is not too strong for your taste.
To make this avocado toast more filling, add some chickpeas or greens on top.
Suggested add-ons:
- chickpeas
- Tomato slices
- Sautéed sliced mushrooms
- arugula
- dried dill
