Notes

Quick Tip: For added flavor, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top for a spicy kick!

For the best results, use ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure. If you’re short on time, canned chickpeas work perfectly; just be sure to rinse and drain them well. You can also swap out the spices based on your preference—cumin and smoked paprika add a wonderful earthiness, but feel free to experiment!

This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the chickpea topping in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. To reheat, simply warm them in a pan over medium heat before layering them on your toast.
