Vegan Avocado Toast with Beet Hummus

Jazz up your avocado toast with some homemade beet hummus and enjoy it for breakfast or light lunch, like Millennials do. Vegan and nutritious, this easy pick-me-up snack recipe is loaded with healthy fats, plant-based protein and very nutritious.

I can’t believe it myself: I’m back with another avocado toast recipe! Isn’t it the prettiest, though? I mean, have you ever seen hummus this bright pink? Beets are quite awesome when it comes to food coloring and they also add a big punch of nutrition. They are indeed a good source of fiber and they are also filled with folate, which support heart health. Also, note that chickpeas are a good source of protein, which insure that your toast is 100% vegan-friendly.

This homemade beet hummus is made only from 6 ingredients and takes just a couple of minutes to prepare. Place chickpeas, beets, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil and garlic in a food processor and mix until smooth.  Taste, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. You can then spread right away over your toasts, but if you have a little bit of time I recommend you let it chill in the refrigerator first. It will help the flavors to develop even more.

When ready to use, it’s time to assemble your avocado toast. With years of avocado toasts behind me, I have learned the tips and tricks to the perfect avocado toast along the way and I’m excited to share them with you. So here’s how to!

How to make a great avocado toast?

Choose great avocados. You want ripe but not over-ripe avocados. Look for avocados that yield a bit to a gentle squeeze.

Use good bread. Most of the time nowadays I prepare my own Easy No-Knead Bread Recipe. It’s a great option, especially when still fresh from the oven, and it comes in many variations. I also like dark, whole grain bread for my avocado toasts. Use thick slices and toast them a little.

Season your avocados. I recently shared my secrets to master the avocado toast. Whether you mash your avocado or use it sliced, the seasoning is everything. Season with flaky sea salt, freshly ground black pepper (my favorite is and remains the Timut Black Pepper) and add some chili flakes for a little extra kick.
