How to Make this Avocado Toast with Garlic Infused Olive Oil
This avocado toast takes next-to-no skill to make! Just toast some bread, slice some avocado, and add all the toppings. If you want to make this infused olive oil, here’s what you do:
Pour olive oil in a small saucepan. Add garlic chunks and red pepper flakes and warm over low heat for 10 minutes. Allow to cool, remove the garlic chunks as they can spoil, and transfer to a clean jar. I keep mine in the refrigerator. Here’s what the FDA recommends.
Why Sourdough?
Turns out, sourdough is a healthier alternative to white or whole-wheat bread. The slow fermentation process involved in making sourdough bread breaks down the carbohydrates in the wheat, making it easier to digest. It’s a more nutritious choice as it’s higher in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Sourdough also contains prebiotics for a happy, healthy gut! Plus, it’s delicious, especially with avocado!!
The Beloved Avocado
Avocado is actually a fruit and while most fruits are high in carbohydrates, avocados are actually high in healthy fats. They’re very nutritious and contain a wide variety of nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals. These little guys are loaded with antioxidants, fiber, potassium, and heart-healthy fats. Avocados can dramatically increase the nutrient value of other plant foods that you’re eating. So…I think we should all eat more avocados! And here’s a quick little video on how to cut and peel them.
