Spooky Halloween Avo Toast Photo: Instagram @fooddeco
As a Holiday lover, I enjoy the occasional festive flair on everyday food. This spooky, Halloween spin on the traditional avocado toast can be found on Colette Dike’s Instagram account @fooddeco. But if you’re more like me and just want to smash some avocado on a piece of toast, try this 10 minute avocado toast recipe. Avocados are a true super food and contain high levels of healthy, beneficial fats, which can help you feel fuller between meals. They are also an excellent source of vitamins C, E, K, and B6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, magnesium, potassium, beta carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. That’s a lot of health benefits in one food!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
One medium ripe avocado, halved and pitted
Fine salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 - 4 slices whole grain or wheat bread (my favorite is sourdough bread)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO for short)
Flaky sea salt, for serving
Optional Toppings:
Crushed red pepper flakes
Squeeze of lemon
Everything but the bagel seasoning (Trader Joe’s brand is amazing)
Cilantro, chopped
HOW TO MAKE:
Toast the bread until browned and crisp
While bread is toasting, mash the avocado with a fork in a shallow bowl until chunky. Add fine salt and black pepper. Season to taste (might need more salt than you think).
Lightly brush the toasts with oil, and season with fine salt and pepper. Divide the mashed avocado evenly among the toasts. Top with a pinch of flaky sea salt and any additional toppings you want to add.
Time: 10 mins
Yields: 2 - 4 servings
