Ingredients
  

Avocado Edamame Smash
  • 2 medium ripe avocados peeled and pitted
  • 120 g frozen shelled edamame cooked and cooled
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice about 1 lemon
  • 1/4 tsp chili flakes adjust to taste
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt plus more for topping
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Toast and Toppings
  • 4 slices thick-cut sourdough bread or whole grain
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for drizzling
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds optional, for garnish
  • a small handful microgreens or sprouts optional, for garnish
  • a pinch chili flakes optional, extra for topping

Method
 

Cook the Edamame
  1. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the frozen shelled edamame and cook for 3 minutes until tender and bright green.
  2. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside to cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
Make the Smash
  1. Add the cooked edamame to a mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to roughly mash them, leaving some texture, not a paste.
  2. Add the avocado flesh to the bowl. Mash with the edamame until combined but still slightly chunky.
  3. Add lemon juice, chili flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt or lemon as needed.
Toast and Assemble
  1. Toast the sourdough slices until deeply golden and crisp on both sides.
  2. Spoon the avocado edamame smash generously onto each slice and spread to the edges.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, add a pinch of extra flaky salt, sesame seeds, microgreens, and a few chili flakes if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

For the greenest, freshest smash, assemble and eat right away. If you're prepping for later, store the smash separately from the bread and toast fresh slices just before serving.
