This avocado toast with spiced chickpeas and California avocado is a super tasty and nourishing meal. It makes for an awesome breakfast or brunch.
Avocado is our family favorite and we all love to eat just the guacamole for snack. Kids do lobe anything avocado as long as its not spicy. This is perfect dish for both kids and adults as it can be made mildly spicy for kids liking and little zing for adults by topping the toast off with some red pepper flakes.
You can make it more interesting by adding more veggies of choice and beefing it up a bit. I like to keep it simple so the avocado and chickpea can be the starts of the dish. I roasted the cooked chickpea in some smoked paprika and salt and added it to the toast topped with avocado and tomato. Garnished with little lemon juice and freshly chopped coriander leaves.
You can also switch up the spices when roasting the chickpeas to give this a different flavor every time like coriander and cumin powder or even the Indian Chaat masala powder and also add chopped onions if you like raw onion. This is a great breakfast, brunch or even a snack.
Also the kind of bread you use will totally change the experience as well. Here I simply used the regular soft bread which can get soggy if not eaten right away. So make sure toast and assemble right before you serve. Then there is the hard bread varieties like duch oven and baguette that can hold shape and perfect for a party type serving. No matter what bread you choose this will taste good the same. Whip up a quick meal and enjoy!!
