Build-Your-Own Smashed Avocado Toast Bar

Avocado toast gets the full DIY treatment in this vibrant, build-your-own breakfast bar. Thick slabs of crusty sourdough are toasted until golden and crisp, then piled high with chunky, lime-spiked smashed avocado seasoned simply with flaky salt and cracked pepper. A tangle of sharp quick-pickled red onion cuts through the richness, while a bright, garlicky herb oil drizzled over the top ties everything together with a restaurant-quality finish. What makes this recipe special is the spread of extra fixings served alongside, so everyone can customize their own toast exactly how they like it — a shower of chili flakes for heat, toasted pepitas or hemp seeds for crunch and plant-based protein, microgreens or sprouts for freshness, and a squeeze of extra lime for brightness. It's casual, colorful, and endlessly adaptable, making it perfect for lazy weekend brunches or a crowd-pleasing breakfast spread. This recipe is entirely plant-based, relying on nutrient-dense avocados, whole grain sourdough, nuts or seeds, and fresh herbs and vegetables to deliver healthy fats, fiber, and flavor without any animal products. It comes together in under 20 minutes, making it an easy way to start the day on a nourishing note.
