This vegan Avocado Toast recipe is simplicity at its best. Mashed AND sliced avocado, a drizzle of olive oil and a rub of garlic, with a generous sprinkling of salt and squeeze of lime make for the PERFECT avocado toast every time!
Toast the bread in your toaster. If you don't have a toaster, you can broil it on both sides for a minute or two.
Immediately after the bread is done toasting, while it's still warm, drizzle each slice with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub the oil in with the cut side of the garlic. You should smell the garlic as the warmth of the bread heats it.
Cut the avocado in half with the peel still on. Remove the pit with a knife (carefully!).
Scoop 1/4 of the avocado on each piece of bread. Mash on top of the bread with a fork.
Slice the other half of the avocado while it's still in the peel. Scoop out the slices with a spoon and spread out evenly on the two slices of bread on top of the mashed avocado.
Sprinkle each slice generously with salt and squeeze a wedge of lime or lemon onto each. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve immediately.
Notes
It's HARD to find good bread sometimes! I almost always buy bread from the bakery in my grocery store rather than in the bread aisle. If it's not sliced, I have them slice it for me. I keep it in my freezer so it stays fresher for longer- the frozen bread can go directly in the toaster.
