  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

  1. Toast the bread until crisp and golden.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the dried chickpeas and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly crisp.
  4. Stir in paprika, cumin, salt and pepper, then cook for 30 seconds more.
  5. Mash the avocado with lemon juice and a pinch of salt using a fork.

  7. Spoon the warm chickpeas over the avocado.

Notes

  • Drying the chickpeas well helps them crisp faster.
  • Slightly chunky avocado gives the best texture.
  • Toast thick-cut bread for better support.
  • Add lemon juice immediately to slow avocado browning.
  • Assemble just before serving for the crispiest toast.
  • For extra crunch, roast the chickpeas instead of pan-cooking them.
