Ingredients
  

1 ripe avocado

1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

Juice of 1 lemon

½ teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

4 slices of whole-grain bread

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Microgreens (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Use a fork or a potato masher to gently mash the mixture until the chickpeas are roughly broken down but still retain some texture.

    Toast the slices of whole-grain bread until they are golden brown and crispy.

      While the bread is toasting, slice the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice, then mash gently with a fork until creamy but still chunky.

        Spread a generous layer of the mashed avocado on each slice of toasted bread.

          Top the avocado toast with the chickpea mixture, spreading it evenly over the avocado.

            If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the top.

              Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, and add microgreens for an extra touch if desired.

                Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant and nutritious Chickpea Avocado Toast!
