Avocado + Toast, such a fantastic combo right?  Filling, quick and soooo satisfying.  

One of my favorite things about avocado toast is how every fruit or veggie seems to just magically taste better on top of it.

So what should you put on avocado toast?  

Anything! But to get specific I guarantee you’ll love it with juicy summer peaches, balsamic roasted grapes or a fresh pan of jalapeño roasted cauliflower.

I know that the last one’s a little out there, stay with me people…it’s amazing.

Imagine crispy jalapeno slices, buttery roasted cauliflower, peppery radishes and the tiny bite of sliced scallions.  Layer all that veggie texture and flavor onto a crispy slice of whole-grain toast covered in creamy mashed avocado.

Drizzle it with your favorite hot sauce, grab a few lime wedges and dig in!

How to Customize Your Spicy Avocado Toast

Depending on who you’re making these spicy avocado cauliflower toasts for there are lots of ways to adjust the heat level.

My godmother Michele is not a spicy food fan but such a good sport (she ate Sriracha for me, that’s real love ♥). If I was making one for her I would:

  • Knock a few of those crispy roasted jalapeño slices off her toast.
  • Skip the hot sauce altogether.
  • And squeeze a lime wedge over everything to highlight the cooling avocado.  

Still a flavor-packed lunch but with a much milder heat.

Now, for Tim (who will happily eat himself into a jalapeño hiccupping state) I’d crank up the heat with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper and a few fresh jalapeno slices.

Then I’d hand him his toast and scoot off to fold laundry until he finished hiccupping 🙂

  1. These were awesome! We added a few roasted garlic slices on it and tomatoes rather than radish. The roasted jalapeno was super spicy so we could only handle a few tiny diced bits but very tasty. Very satisfying, easy and filling! Thank you.

    1. Oh I’m so happy you enjoyed them Nina! Your roasted garlic slices sound delish, I’m going to try that on my next toast for sure 🙂
