Ingredients
  

Avocado spread and garnishes
  • 3 ripe avocados Use just-ripe for easy mashing.
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice Adds brightness and helps the mash stay vivid.
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes Use more or less depending on heat preference.
  • 1 salt and pepper to taste Season after mashing and stir gently.
  • 1 microgreens for garnish Light, fresh garnish for color and crunch.
  • 1 radish slices for garnish Thin radish slices add snap and a peppery bite.
Toasted baguette base
  • 1 can (15 oz) baguette Slice diagonally into 12 thin pieces for mini bites.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Toast the baguette
  1. Preheat your broiler or toaster oven to high. Arrange the baguette slices on a sheet pan and toast until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes, watching carefully.
Mash the avocado
  1. Halve the avocados, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork until you reach your desired consistency, adding lime juice, salt, and pepper, then stir gently to combine.
Assemble and serve
  1. Spread the avocado mixture evenly onto each toasted baguette slice. Top each bite with a pinch of red pepper flakes, microgreens, and thin radish slices, then serve immediately.

Notes

Pro tip: for the smoothest spread, mash the avocado while it’s very soft, then stop when it reaches a thick, spreadable texture—over-mashing can turn it pasty. Store assembled toasts briefly in the fridge up to 1 day, but for best crunch serve immediately. Freezing is not recommended for the assembled toasts. For a dairy-free and vegan-friendly swap, keep the recipe as written; it’s naturally dairy-free and vegan.
