Smoky guacamole toasts with pepitas
Yield 4-6 servings
Ingredients
- 8–10 slices of hearty multigrain bread, cut into approximately 3-inch halves
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 ripe Haas avocados
- 1/4 white onion, grated
- 2-1/2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 serrano pepper, finely minced, seeds removed
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin, toasted
- 1 tablespoon ancho chile seasoning, toasted
- 2–3 tablespoons fresh smoky salsa
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Line baking tray with parchment paper.

- Brush each piece of toast on both sides with olive oil.
- Bake for 5 minutes, turning over each piece of toast about halfway through the baking process. Once turned, continue baking until brown, about 5 more minutes. Note: Keep a close watch; toasts burn easily.

- Place avocado pieces in large bowl and mash well with potato masher.
- Add onion, garlic, serrano pepper, lime juice, cumin, ancho chile seasoning, smoky salsa, salt and pepper, and continue to mash until well blended. Taste to adjust seasonings, adding more salt, pepper, spices or lime juice if desired.
- Top each toast piece with generous layer of guacamole, spreading it across top of toast.
- Garnish with radish sprouts, toasted pepitas and sprinkling of parsley.
- Serve immediately.
