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 black pepper to taste

4 slices of whole-grain bread

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Fresh parsley or cilantro, finely chopped (for garnish)

Microgreens (optional, for garnishing)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Using a fork or potato masher, gently mash the mixture until the chickpeas are roughly broken down, ensuring some texture remains for a hearty bite.

    Place the slices of whole-grain bread in a toaster or on a grill. Toast them until they are golden brown and crispy, creating a sturdy base for the toppings.

      While the bread is toasting, carefully slice the ripe avocado in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a separate small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning, then mash gently with a fork until you achieve a creamy yet slightly chunky consistency.

        Once the bread is toasted to perfection, spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado onto each slice, ensuring an even coverage.

          Next, evenly distribute the chickpea mixture on top of the avocado, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

            For those who enjoy a little kick, sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the chickpea mixture before proceeding.

              Finish by garnishing the toast with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or cilantro. If desired, add a handful of microgreens on top for an extra splash of color and texture.

                Serve your vibrant and nutritious Chickpea Avocado Toast immediately, savoring each delectable bite!
