If you love a satisfying, flavorful, and nutrient-packed meal, this Avocado Chickpea Toast is about to become your new go-to! Creamy smashed avocado with a zesty kick of lime and smoky paprika meets crunchy, roasted chickpeas—all piled high on hearty whole-grain toast.
Not only is it delicious, but it’s also packed with fiber, healthy fats, and plant-based protein to keep you feeling full and energized. Avocados provide heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while chickpeas add a boost of protein and gut-friendly fiber, making this toast a balanced and nourishing choice for breakfast or a snack.
Whether you’re looking to add more plant-based meals to your routine or just need a fresh twist on your classic avocado toast, this recipe delivers on both nutrition and flavor!
What You Will Need to Make It
Avocado – 1 ripe avocado will be enough to cover 2 slices of bread.
Whole Grain Bread – Any whole grain bread is great. I like multi-grain bread like Dave’s Killer Bread, Pepperidge Farm, or Arnold 12 or 15-grain bread. If your grocery store has a good bakery they or a farmer’s market are also great places for getting good whole grain bread.
Lime Juice and Zest – Juice and zest from 1 lime will add a bright and vibrant flavor and will keep the avocado from turning brown too quickly.
Chickpeas – Roasted chickpeas add a nice crunch and give this recipe some added fiber. You can make your own or buy a packet. I like the Biena brand, but there are others available too. A plain sea salt is best.
Smokey Paprika – just a dash will give this a nice smoky flavor. You can also sprinkle a little on the top just before serving.
How to Make It
I love this recipe because you can pull this together in 5 minutes or less. The only cooking involved is to toast the bread!
Step 1 – Toast the Bread
Simple enough! Either in a toaster or under the broiler. Just get both sides nice and toasted and crispy.
Step 2 – Prep the Avocado Mix
Mash the avocado and mix in lime juice, zest, and a bit of paprika in a small bowl.
Step 3- Assemble the Toast
Spread the avocado mix on the toast. Top it with a couple of tablespoons of roasted chickpeas and a sprinkle of paprika. Add some cilantro for a bit of extra flavor if you’d like.
I hope you give this a try and if you do, please give a rating and let me know what you think!
Storage Tips
Avocado does turn brown fairly quickly once exposed to air. But, if you need to make the mix ahead, the lime juice will help slow the oxidation down. I also recommend putting it in a container with a piece of plastic wrap sitting tightly on the avocado mix.
