Ingredients
  

1 ripe avocado

1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 clove of garlic, finely minced

Juice of 1 fresh lemon

½ teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

4 slices of whole-grain bread

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for added spice)

Fresh parsley or cilantro, finely chopped, for garnish

Microgreens (optional, for an elegant touch)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. With a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the mixture, ensuring that the chickpeas are roughly broken down while still maintaining some texture for a delightful bite.

    Meanwhile, toast the whole-grain bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until they are golden brown and crispy. This will provide a nice crunchy base for your toppings.

      While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado. Carefully slice the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice to help brighten the flavor. Use a fork to mash the avocado gently until it’s creamy yet still slightly chunky for added texture.

        Once the bread is ready, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on each slice, ensuring that every bite is creamy and delicious.

          Next, top the avocado layer with the chickpea mixture, spreading it evenly to create a vibrant and hearty topping.

            If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the top of each toast for a flavorful kick.

              Finally, finish your toast with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for a burst of color and freshness. If using, add microgreens on top for an extra touch of elegance and nutrition.

                Serve your Chickpea Avocado Toast immediately, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in this healthy, vibrant dish!
