Avocado Toast [0000985]

Ingredients:

2 slices of gluten-free bread (choose your preferred gluten-free bread)
1 ripe avocado
1 small lemon
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes (optional, for a touch of heat)
Fresh basil leaves or microgreens, for garnish (optional)
Cherry tomatoes, sliced, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Start by toasting the slices of gluten-free bread until they are crispy and golden brown. You can use a toaster, toaster oven, or oven to achieve the desired level of toastiness.

While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a bowl.

Squeeze the juice from the small lemon over the avocado to add flavor and prevent browning.

Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your preferred level of smoothness. If you like some texture, leave it slightly chunky.

If you're using minced garlic, mix it into the mashed avocado for extra flavor. You can also add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.

Once the gluten-free bread is toasted, remove it from the toaster or oven.

Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted slices of bread.

Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the avocado.

If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.

Garnish your gluten-free Avocado Toast with fresh basil leaves or microgreens for a burst of color and flavor. You can also add sliced cherry tomatoes for an extra touch of freshness.

Serve your gluten-free Avocado Toast immediately as a delightful appetizer or snack.

Enjoy your homemade gluten-free Avocado Toast, a simple yet satisfying treat that's perfect for any time of day!
