Notes
Note 1: You can use your favorite bread for this recipe, including gluten-free bread.
Note 2: You can substitute pea shoots with baby spinach, arugula, cilantro, or parsley.
Note 3: Make sure to use soft, perfectly ripe avocados. I usually buy avocados when they are almost ready to be eaten and keep them in the fridge.
Note 4: You can also top this avocado toast with these crunchy roasted chickpeas. Check the recipe description for more topping ideas!
