Instructions
- Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook peas via your favorite method and combine with garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper in a food processor.
- Pour in olive oil as you blend until desired consistency is reached. After 1/3 cup I was good to go!
- Next chop avocado, tomato, and fresh parsley and toss together. Drizzle with olive oil and a teeny bit of your favorite vinegar [optional] as well as a tiny pinch of salt and toss to coat.
- Slice your baguette and brush each side lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
- Arrange flat on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden and crispy. You can underbake for slightly chewy crostini or toast a bit longer for extra crunch; both ways are delicious!
- Allow toasts to cool a bit, then top with pea puree and your avocado/tomato mixture.
- Dig in!
