Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 medium golden beet, cooked and sliced
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. If you haven't already cooked the golden beet, you can do so by boiling it in water for about 30-40 minutes until tender. Once cooked, allow it to cool before peeling and slicing it into thin rounds.
- While the beet is cooling, toast the whole grain bread slices in a toaster or on a grill until they are golden brown and crispy. This will add texture to your toast.
- Next, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches your desired level of creaminess. You can leave it chunky or make it smooth, depending on your preference.
- Add the tablespoon of lemon juice to the mashed avocado. This will not only enhance the flavor but also help prevent the avocado from browning. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing well to combine.
- Once the toast is ready, spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.
- Top the avocado toast with the sliced golden beet, arranging them artfully over the avocado. You can layer them or create a fan shape for a visually appealing presentation.
- If desired, garnish the toast with fresh herbs such as cilantro, parsley, or chives for an added burst of flavor and color.
- Serve the golden beet and avocado toast immediately while the bread is still warm and crispy. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
Tips
- Choose a ripe avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest spread.
- To save time, roast or boil golden beets in advance and store them in the refrigerator for quick meal prep.
- For extra flavor, try toasting your bread on a grill pan to add subtle smoky notes.
- Experiment with different fresh herbs like dill, basil, or microgreens to customize your toast.
- Use fresh lemon juice to prevent avocado browning and add a bright, zesty flavor.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a sprinkle of hemp seeds or a soft-boiled egg on top.
- Select high-quality, artisanal whole grain bread for the best texture and nutritional value.
