    The spicy avocado crostini bites are completely vegan, nut-free, gluten-free and lactose-free.

    πŸ“• What are Crostini?

    Crostini are small Italian toasted or grilled white bread slices with olive oil.

    You can use a french baguette or another thinner white bread.

    These are traditional Italian appetizers, which are usually topped with antipasti (cured meats, vegetables, olives etc).

    Bruschetta is similar but bruschetti use larger bread slices and they are usually rubbed with fresh or roasted garlic.

    πŸ’‘ Non-Vegan enhancements

    If you are not a vegan and you want to add something to it, here is how:

    • shrimp
    • smoked salmon
    • fish roe
    • grated parmesan
    • prosciutto

    πŸ’­ FAQs

    How to avoid avocado getting brown?

    Sprinkle some lemon juice over your cut open avocado halves. Right after you cut them. The fruit flesh reacts with oxygen and turns brown, acid keeps that from happening.

    How to make this in advance?

    Prepare the avocado paste and store it in an airtight container in your fridge. Take it out when you need it and toast your bread slices just before serving time.

    How to make mild avocado cristini?

    Skip the cayenne pepper or use milk paprika powder.

    How to ripen avocado faster?

    Place avocado with bananas together into a fruit bowl in room temperature. The banana skin has properties that help the avocados to ripen faster.
