There are many variations of an avocado toast and with no rules to break, the creativity is limitless with my Avocado Toast with Spiced Sunflower Seeds.
Spiced Sunflower Seeds:
2 cups raw sunflower seeds
1 tbsp light vegetable oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/8 cup water
½ tsp garlic powder
1 tsp spirulina powder (blue or green on Amazon)
¼ tsp ground cayenne
1 tsp lemon pepper
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
¼ tsp salt
Avocado Toast:
4 slices of whole-grain bread
1 large ripe avocado
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
2 radishes, thinly sliced
8 slices cucumber, cut with star cutter (optional) (buy here on Amazon)
4 tbsp spiced sunflower seeds
Salt and pepper to taste
For Spiced Sunflower Seeds:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place all the sunflower seeds into a large bowl with the water, lemon juice and oil. Stir until all the seeds are wet. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the seed to soak up the moisture
In a separate bowl mix together all spices and salt. Add to the bowl with sunflower seeds and stir until thoroughly combined.
Spread seeds in a single layer on the lined baking sheet taking care not to overcrowd.
Bake for 3 minutes then stir. Bake for another 3-4 minutes or until seeds is crispy. Watch carefully as the seeds can burn quickly.
Avocado Toast:
Toast bread as desired.
Meanwhile, add avocado, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper to a small bowl. Mash with a fork until combined and smooth.
Spread evenly on toast and top with sliced cucumber, stars (if desired), radishes and spiced sunflower seeds
