Kitchen Tips & Answers
- → How do I get the perfect toast texture?
Toast the bread until golden and crisp but still tender inside. Using rustic whole grain or sourdough enhances flavor and crunch.

Yes, add red chili or chili flakes to taste for a mild heat or omit for a milder flavor.
- → What herbs work best for topping?
Fresh parsley, chives, and dill provide bright, fragrant notes that complement the creamy avocado and zesty chickpeas.
- → How can I make it more filling?
Add sliced radishes or cucumber ribbons for crunch, or top with a poached egg for extra protein.

Toasted seeds add a crunchy texture and earthy flavor but can be skipped or substituted with nuts if preferred.
