Smashed Edamame Toast is a quick and nutritious plant-based dish made by blending defrosted edamame with avocado, tahini, garlic, serrano pepper, lime juice, and fresh cilantro to create a flavorful and slightly chunky spread. The creamy, protein-rich mixture is layered over toasted whole grain bread and can be topped with hemp seeds, microgreens, or pickled onions for added texture and freshness. With its bright citrus flavor and nutty sesame notes, this easy toast makes a wholesome breakfast, snack, or light meal.
Step-by-Step Instructions Here is the detailed process for preparing the smashed edamame toast:
Defrost the edamame:
• Place your frozen edamame in a bowl and cover it with boiling water for a few minutes to defrost it quickly. (You do not need to boil it on the stove, even if the package instructions say so).
Mince the aromatics:
• Place the roughly chopped garlic cloves and serrano pepper into a food processor.
• Blend them up first until they are fully minced so you don't end up with any large, spicy chunks in your final dip.
Blend the mash:
• Once the garlic and pepper are minced, add the defrosted edamame, half of the avocado, tahini, soy sauce or tamari, toasted sesame oil, cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice to the food processor.
• Give it a few quick blends. It is recommended to keep the mixture a little chunky instead of making it completely smooth for a better texture.
Assemble and Serve!
• Toast your seeded whole grain bread.
• Spread the smashed edamame mixture generously over the toast.
• Garnish with a sprinkle of hemp seeds (for extra protein), broccoli sprouts or microgreens, and pickled onions for a pop of color.
Storage Tips: This edamame mash will stay good in the fridge for about seven days, making it great to eat all week long. To keep your remaining half of the avocado fresh, store it in a container with a sliced onion.
