Avocado and Edamame Smash on Toast
A fresh and vibrant twist on classic avocado toast, packed with plant protein and ready in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 77 g / ½ cup frozen shelled edamame (soya) beans
- 1 small avocado, flesh only (about 100g)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
To serve:
- 2 slices wholegrain or sourdough bread
- Plant-based buttery spread (I used Flora buttery)
Optional garnish:
- Slices of radish
- A sprinkle of fresh dill or a small handful of pea shoots
Instructions
- Boil the edamame beans in a saucepan until just tender (about 6–7 minutes), or microwave according to the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, prepare your toast and scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl.
- Once the edamame beans are ready, drain them well and add them to the bowl with the avocado.
- Mash together using a potato masher until you achieve a coarse texture. The beans won’t fully mash - and that’s absolutely fine. Leaving some whole or halved adds a lovely texture.
- Season generously with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of salt, to taste.
- Pile the smash onto your freshly buttered toast, add your chosen garnish, finish with an extra crack of black pepper and serve.
Notes
This avocado and edamame smash is best enjoyed immediately after making, when it’s at its freshest and brightest.
If you do need to store it, you can refrigerate it in an airtight container for a short time. However, like all avocado-based dishes, it may begin to oxidise and turn slightly brown.
To help slow this, add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice before storing, and press a layer of cling film directly onto the surface to reduce air exposure. Stir well before serving.
