avocado asparagus tartine this recipe

Don't be fooled by the name, this avocado asparagus tartine is just a fancy way to say TOAST. Deluxe toast, but still toast. Perfect for a quick lunch or dinner that feels a little fancy thanks to that dash of special asparagus brings to this recipe. If you don't have a ripe avocado, try using mashed white beans or hummus for the base layer. This recipe is infinitely versatile, so make it your own!

Other toppings to try:
Sliced tomato
Hummus
Mashed white beans
Basil
Sautéed kale
Sautéed leeks
Sautéed shallots
Broccolini
Red pepper flakes
Grilled peaches

And if you like toasty dishes, be sure to try our Herbed Mushrooms on Garlic Toast!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 pieces whole grain bread
  • ½ tbsp. olive oil
  • ½ lb. asparagus, trimmed roughly the length of your bread
  • 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
  • ½ tsp. caraway seeds
  • 1 avocado, pitted and smashed
  • 2 cups arugula, tossed in a bit of olive oil
  • ¼ cup toasted pepitas, or almonds, or sunflower seeds

Instructions

  1. Lightly toast bread. Brush lightly with olive oil and rub with garlic cloves.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it's hot add the asparagus, and a pinch of salt and cook for about thirty seconds. Add the garlic and caraway, and cook another thirty seconds, or until the spears are a bright green. Remove from heat.
  3. Give each piece of bread a generous slather of mashed avocado. Top that with a bit of arugula, a few asparagus spears, and a generous sprinkling of pepitas or seeds.

    I made this for dinner tonight... sort of. No one in my family particularly (or at all) likes asparagus, so I substituted leeks. I also sauteed the leeks in coconut oil, rather than olive oil. Aaand, I used spring mix lettuce because my daughter hates arugula.

    Aside from all that, I followed the recipe and it was DELICIOUS! If you don't like asparagus, try leeks. So good! Even my 8-year-old liked it! 🙂
