This simple and beautiful avocado toast features golden, crispy sourdough topped with a smooth, creamy avocado spread and a savory sprinkle of Shiso Miso Nooch. It's an effortless, plant-based take on a classic breakfast or lunch that's so satisfying with only a handful of wholesome ingredients.

I've been making this classic avocado toast on a weekly basis for years, and I truly think it's one of the best vegan meals you can make in under ten minutes. It is so satisfying, and a generous sprinkle of Shiso Miso Nooch adds a savory, umami-packed flavor that takes it to the next level. If you love growing your own toppings, this is also the perfect recipe to use with the fresh microgreens from my How to Grow Microgreens at Home guide.

Ingredients To Make This Easy Vegan Avocado Toast: 

Use a clear shot of the ingredients for this recipe, prepped, and labeled if necessary. Add a paragraph of content describing why these ingredients were chosen. Insert the ingredients into the list below, omitting quantities.

• Sourdough Bread: It's my bread of choice for the best avocado toast. Its tangy flavor and sturdy texture hold up beautifully under the creamy avocado spread, and it crisps up to a perfect golden brown in the toaster or on a pan. 
• Vegan Butter: It adds a rich, melt-in-your-mouth layer that makes this simple recipe feel extra indulgent. I love using it when pan-toasting the bread over medium heat for those perfectly crispy, golden edges. And leftovers can be used to make these vegan protein pancakes.
• Avocado: Use a perfectly ripe avocado for the creamiest, smoothest results. You're looking for one that gives slightly when pressed and has no brown spots inside. I usually use half to one full avocado, depending on the size.
• Shiso Miso Nooch: It's a savory, umami-rich seasoning blend that turns a simple avocado toast into something truly special and adds tons of flavor. Honestly, once you try it, you'll want to sprinkle it on everything. Try it over vegetable fried rice or wild rice soup next.
• Microgreens: These little greens add freshness, a beautiful pop of color, and a surprising amount of nutrients on top of the toast. They're light, slightly peppery, and give the perfect finishing touch.

How To Make Them:

Let me show you how easy it is to make this simple vegan avocado toast!

• Toast the Bread: Toast the sourdough slice in a toaster until golden and crispy. Alternatively, heat a large skillet over medium heat and toast the bread with vegan butter until both sides are golden brown and slightly crispy. This pan method gives you even more flavor and those irresistible crispy edges.
• Add the Butter: If using a toaster, spread the vegan butter over the warm toast immediately so it melts right into the bread for a rich, savory base.
• Prepare the Avocado: Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon. From here, you can thinly slice it for a more elegant presentation, or mash it in a small bowl with a fork for a creamy avocado spread. 
• Assemble the Toast: Layer the avocado evenly over the warm, crunchy toast. Whether you go sliced or smashed avocado, spread it all the way to the edges so every bite is covered.
• Add the Seasoning: Sprinkle the Shiso Miso Nooch generously over the top for a savory, umami-packed flavor. 
• Finish With Microgreens: Top with microgreens to taste for freshness and texture.
• Serve Immediately: Enjoy while the toast is still warm and crispy.

Variations And Substitutions: 

• Bread Options: Sourdough is my absolute favorite for this recipe, but whole-grain bread, gluten-free bread like in my tofu salad sandwich, or even a toasted bagel all work wonderfully. Use whatever slices of bread you love most.
• Extra Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce for heat, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze or balsamic vinegar for a tangy-sweet finish. Sesame seeds, hemp seeds, or bagel seasoning are also delicious sprinkled on top.
• Add More Toppings: Tomato slices, red onions, a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, or even a drizzle of olive oil all make great additions, especially for lunch. This is truly one of those recipes where you can mix and match your favorite toppings and make it your own.
• Make It High Protein: Add white beans or a side of my raspberry smoothie bowl to round it out into a more complete, protein-packed breakfast. Or pair it with a tofu scramble for a more hearty vegan breakfast spread.

Storage: 

• Best Texture: This vegan avocado toast recipe is truly at its best when eaten immediately, while the toast is still warm and crispy. Once assembled, it softens quickly, so I recommend making it fresh each time.
• Refrigeration: If you have leftover avocado, store the cut avocado in an airtight container with a squeeze of lime or lemon juice to prevent browning, and refrigerate for up to one day. Press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the avocado flesh to minimize air exposure.

Equipment Needed: 

• Toaster or Large Skillet: For toasting the sourdough bread to golden, crispy perfection.
• Sharp Knife: For halving and slicing the avocado cleanly.
• Small Bowl: For mashing the avocado if you prefer a creamy avocado spread over slices.
• Fork or Potato Masher: For mashing the avocado flesh to your preferred consistency, chunky or smooth.
• Butter Knife: For spreading the vegan butter and avocado evenly over the toast.
