Just when you think your spicy mouth may ignite… Cool + creamy avocado saves the day! The story of Sriracha Avocado Toast is a feisty one!
Do you ever get on a kick where you eat the same thing everyday for like, weeks? I’m a serious creature of habit so when I find something I like, I stick to it until I’m completely burnt out. Evidence: I’ve eaten my Chocolate Cherry Beet Smoothie every morning for the past few months. (Not burnt out! …yet.) I once went on a nearly year-long spree of raisin snacking- I put them in everything, on everything, and munched on them for a daily snack. I can’t touch the things anymore…
There’s one obsession I doubt I’ll ever get sick of… Avocado toast. Sometimes, when I don’t feel like thinking up dinners for the week, we’ll buy a loaf of bread and a half dozen avocados and eat toast all week. No shame in that lazy dinner game.
While I usually enjoy my smashed avocado toast with just a squeeze of lemon and a bunch of flaky sea salt, it can be fun to switch things up a little! Sometimes I’ll add a smear of vegan mayo, a heaping pile of sprouts, or some strawberries for that sweet and salty combo. The possibilities are truly endless! The one thing I hadn’t tried yet was adding both crunch + spice to my creamy toast…
Adding a crispy texture and a pop of spice makes this toast nearly explode in your mouth! There’s so much happening on one piece of bread! All thanks to the powerhouse Toasted Hemp Seeds from Manitoba Harvest. When Manitoba sent me some products to sample, I had never tried the crispity crunchity toasted guys. At first bite, I was hooked on the crunch but couldn’t quite put my tongue on what they reminded me of… I finally concluded that they’re a bit like teeny sunflower seeds- except you eat the shell!
I’m a big hot sauce fan but I have to admit, my bottle of sriracha often gets lost in the back on my pantry. I dug it out because I just knew a drizzle of the good stuff would pair perfectly with the sriracha-flavored toasted seeds. Weeeeooo! I’m so glad I was right about that one. Because the avocado and bread cool down the spice level so much, you’re left with a great flavor and perfect crunch.
Not only will Toasted Hemp Seeds knock your flavor socks off, they pack the same healthy punch as Manitoba’s hemp hearts. If you missed it, I shared some of the many health benefits in my Matcha Hemp Energy Bites post. Long story short, they’re great for you, ok?
Crunchetize me (and the toast), captain.
