Health Benefits of Tomato Avocado Toast

This is not just tasty—it’s also a nutritional bomb:

1. Avocado: A good source of monounsaturated fats for heart health and potassium for blood pressure.
2. Tomatoes: Lycopene, an antioxidant for skin health and chronic disease prevention.
3. Whole Grain Bread: Complex carbs and fiber to keep you full and aid digestion.
4. Lemon: Boosts vitamin C and iron from plant-based foods.
5. Garlic and Onion: Allicin and sulfur compounds for immune function.

Tomato Avocado Toast Ingredients

1. Whole grain or sourdough bread
2. Cherry tomatoes
3. Avocado
4. Lemon
5. Dried minced garlic
6. Dried minced onion
7. Black pepper
8. Homemade vegan feta (optional, but recommended)
9. Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

This recipe uses the dehydrated minced garlic and onion, ingredients found in everything bagel seasoning, which you can use instead. It's worth having some in your pantry for seasoning any mushroom avocado toast, salads, and more. I get mine from the bulk section of my local grocery store.

Finally, this recipe is nut-free. Without the vegan feta cheese (which contains olive oil), this recipe is also oil-free.

How to Prepare

Prepare the Toast

Toast your bread slices. You can use a toaster for quick and easy toast, or a skillet for a bit of crunch and warmth. Aim for a golden brown that’s sturdy enough to hold the toppings.

Make the Avocado Spread

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the avocado to prevent browning, and add some acid to the flavor. Add a pinch of salt if using. Mash with a fork until smooth but still chunky.

Cut the Tomatoes

Quarter the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.

Assemble the Toast

Spread the avocado mixture over each slice of toasted bread. Top with the quartered cherry tomatoes evenly. Sprinkle with dehydrated garlic, onion, and black pepper. If using, finish off with crumbled vegan feta cheese for added salty creaminess and crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately while the toast is warm. Enjoy this with a banana milk matcha latte, an orange juice mocktail, or a golden milk latte. For a more filling breakfast or brunch, have this avocado toast with a matcha smoothie.

• Spicy: Add a dash of hot sauce or finely chopped jalapeño.
• Savory: Sliced cucumbers, olives, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra texture and flavor.

Serving Suggestions

This tomato avocado toast goes well with:

• Coffee, green tea, pink drink copycat, banana milk matcha latte, orange juice mocktail, or golden milk latte.
• A side of mixed greens or arugula with a light dressing.
• A smoothie for extra nutrition, such as the mixed berry smoothie, pineapple weight loss smoothie, spicy orange creamsicle smoothie, or simple green smoothie.

Pro Tips

1. Use Good Quality Ingredients: The better the bread, avocado, and tomatoes, the better the toast.
2. Ripe Avocado Test: Gently press the avocado; it should yield slightly without being mushy.
3. Toast Timing: Keep an eye on the bread so it doesn’t burn.
4. Make It Fresh: Avocado oxidizes quickly, so prepare the spread just before serving.
