I’m sure you’ve seen recipes (if you can even really call it a recipe) for avocado toast all over the place, and there are a ton of really creative and tasty avocado toast creations out there. When I first seen pictures and ideas for this “avocado toast,” it seemed a little strange and weird to me…but all it took was trying a bite for the first time and I was hooked on this simple and seemingly magical combination of toasty bread and creamy avocado.
A few months ago, I randomly put together this version of avocado toast and I cannot stop eating it. Somehow the combination of the avocado, sweet honey, smokey paprika, and salt just keeps me coming back for more and more. Thankfully, gone are the days of believing the whole low-fat-is-better-for-you dogma, and I feel so much better now that my every-day diet is full of all things fatty:: avocados and salted butter and coconut oil and almond butter and olive oils and tahini (oh goodness, so much tahini), etc. etc. etc. I’ve learned from research and from personal experience that fat doesn’t make you fat…it just makes you feel good and gives you better hair/nails/skin and makes your hormones happy and gives you better digestion and not to mention fats just taste delicious. Avocado is by far one of my favorite fat these days, and this avocado toast is one of my favorite ways to eat it up.
My Favorite Avocado Toast
a slice of bread
half of an avocado
honey
smoked paprika
sea salt
Toast your bread. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth and creamy. Top the toast slice with the mashed avocado, drizzle a teaspoon or so of honey on top, sprinkle with smoked paprika and sea salt.
Note: don’t skimp on the salt! It’s crucial to add enough to really bring out the different flavors.
Enjoy!
What about you: avocado on toast, yes or no?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Sounds tasty- I will have to try this! 🙂 I’ve done the
Avocado toast with the avacado, a couple squeezes of fresh lemon and plenty of salt & black pepper.
I’ve never tried it with lemon, but I bet that’s a great extra zing. 🙂
I’m a lover of avocado, but I had never tried avocado toast. After reading your recipe I tried this. It is perfection!! The smoky paprika and sweet honey add just the right touch, despite how strange it sounds!
I’m so glad you like it! It does sound super strange, but it’s crazy how yum it is. We had slices of it with our supper tonight. 🙂
I made this for my lunch yesterday and you’re right -it’s delicious!!
Awesome – so glad you liked it! 😀
