Ingredients
– 2 ripe avocados
– 4 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread
– 1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Avocado Toast with a Twist:
1. Prepare the Chickpeas: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the rinsed chickpeas with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Roast the Chickpeas: Spread the seasoned chickpeas onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy, shaking once halfway through cooking.
3. Toast the Bread: While the chickpeas are roasting, toast your bread slices until golden brown. Alternatively, you can grill them for a smoky flavor.
4. Mash the Avocados: In a mixing bowl, scoop out the flesh of the avocados. Add lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mash it until you achieve your desired consistency, whether smooth or chunky.
5. Assemble the Toast: Spread a generous portion of the mashed avocado over each slice of toasted bread.
6. Top it Off: Evenly distribute the roasted chickpeas over the avocado. Optionally, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
7. Garnish: Finish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for heat.
8. Serve and Enjoy!: Your Avocado Toast with a Twist is ready to be served.
