Why we love it: If you thought you knew the recipe for a great avocado toast, think again. This version from Two Hands NYC takes it up a notch. It’s basically the same avocado toast recipe you know and love: mashed avocado spread on thick, crusty sourdough bread. But when you get to the toppings, things get interesting.

It’s a combination you won’t want to miss.
Hero ingredients: This recipe uses thinly sliced Fresno chiles instead of red pepper flakes for an extra spicy kick.
Crispy roasted sweet potatoes with yogurt, herbs and everything spice
Why we love it: As promised, here comes the recipe for no-toast avocado toast. Not only are sweet potatoes nutritious – high in fiber, immune-boosting, good for your gut – they’re also super delicious. Seriously, I could eat them every day (and I do). In this “toast” recipe, we roast sweet potatoes until caramelized and top them with your choice of toppings. Fresh herbs, Greek yogurt, avocado, and sriracha are a winning combination.
Hero ingredients: I choose whole sweet potatoes. The secret is to brown them in a skillet after they’re done roasting, so they caramelize perfectly and the burnt ends impart a subtle bitterness. Think of a very roasted marshmallow.

This recipe goes back to basics with a simple yet adorable combination of toast, avocado, fried egg, red pepper, and fresh coriander. This is a recipe that never fails.

Hero ingredients: The slight warmth that raw red onion brings to the toast is unmatched and a welcome departure from the OG avocado toast.
Hummus Avocado Toast with Toasted Hemp Seeds by Feeding Birds
Why we love it: Incorporating hummus into an avocado toast recipe isn’t something you see every day, which is why it’s so delicious. Creamy avocado, red onion, cayenne pepper, and toasted hemp seeds are paired with garlicky hummus for a totally different flavor. Hummus and avocado have similar textures, so adding hemp seeds gives the toast a nice texture.
Hero ingredients: Not only are hemp seeds crunchy, they’re also packed with nutrients: One serving (about three tablespoons) contains 8 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber, and plenty of omega-3 fatty acids. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.

Love & Lemon Avocado Toast (5 Types)

Hero ingredients: There’s nothing quite like salty capers, with the taste of brine in every bite.
Best avocado egg salad
Why we love it: I often wonder what the true definition of a salad is. I mean, if vegetables, fruits, and even jellies can be salads, I’m happy to mix avocado into an egg salad and call it a day. I use avocado instead of mayonnaise, which would make it mushy and overwhelm the taste of the eggs. It’s a genius twist on the classic avocado and egg combo, and it’s definitely delicious.
Hero ingredients: Fresh herbs are essential to give this salad its flavor, and adding lots of dill gives it a vibrant, herby flavor.
Grilled corn and feta cheese eggs and avocado toast
Why we love it: As promised, this is one of the best avocado toast recipes on the list. It has a ton of interesting flavors. Mash the avocado and season it perfectly with lemon juice and a little salt. Top the toast with charred corn for a caramelized texture. Finish with nectarines, feta cheese, red pepper flakes, and fresh torn basil. Amazing.
Hero ingredients: While there are many star ingredients in this recipe, the egg cracked into the center of the bread slice gives the entire toast a rich, jammy flavor.
