Why Tomato Avocado Toast?
This recipe pairs the creaminess of ripe avocado with the tangy sweetness of cherry tomatoes for the perfect balance of flavors. Itโs got:
- Healthy plant fats from avocado to keep you full.
- Lycopene and antioxidants from tomatoes for heart health.
- Whole grains for sustained energy or sourdough bread for the probiotic benefits.
Plus, with just a few ingredients, this yummy meal takes less than 10 minutes to make!
Tomato Avocado Toast Ingredients
- Whole grain or sourdough bread
- Cherry tomatoes
- Avocado
- Lemon
- Dried minced garlic
- Dried minced onion
- Black pepper
- Homemade vegan feta (optional, but recommended)
- 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 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 thatโs 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.

Pro Tips
- Use Good Quality Ingredients: The better the bread, avocado, and tomatoes, the better the toast.
