Ingredients
- 1 avocado 215g, ripe
- 2 lices bread toasted (I like thick-cut sourdough or whole wheat bread)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 small lemon wedges
- sea salt to taste, flaky
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. With a paring knife, score the avocado flesh into slices, about ½-inch thick. Using a spoon, scoop the flesh from one of the halves onto 1 of the pieces of toast. Repeat with the other half.
- With the tines of a fork, mash and spread the avocado slices so that they cover the toast. Drizzle both pieces with the olive oil and squeeze the lemon wedges over top. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Notes
- You can leave the avocado slices whole on the toast if you like that texture better than avocado mash.
- For gluten-free avocado toast, just use gluten-free bread! If you use seasonings aside from salt and pepper, double-check the ingredient labels to make sure they are also gluten-free.
- Lemon juice is a must! Aside from adding bright, sharp flavor to the avocado toast, the acidity of lemon juice helps prevent the avocado from browning too quickly. You can swap the lemon for lime juice, if you like.
