Ingredients you need
Ingredient notes and substitutions
Bread ~ I suggest a hearty whole grain bread that toasts up nice and crunchy. This provides a lovely texture contrast to the creamy avocado. My easy homemade vegan oatmeal bread would be a great choice!
Use gluten-free bread, if desired.
For store bought breads, I like Ezekiel sprouted grain breads – they have gluten free options, as well, if you need or want that. Or check your local bakery for freshly made whole grain options.
Not all bread is vegan, so be sure to check the ingredient list if this is important to you.
Avocado ~ You can’t have avocado toast without avocado! They have a super creamy texture and are mild in flavor, but rich in mouthfeel.
How to pick a good avocado:
There are a few tricks to choosing a perfectly ripe avocado. Look for dark green skin with a slightly bumpy texture. It should yield to gentle pressure, but not feel mushy. Remove the stem cap and look for green or yellow color underneath.
Radishes ~ Raw radishes have a great crunchy texture and somewhat spicy bite. The flavor complements the mild, creamy avocado perfectly.
Hemp seeds ~ Hemp seeds provide another texture component. I add them to everything!
Extras ~ I like to finish this vegan avocado toast with some freshly ground black pepper. A pinch of flaky sea salt can punch up the flavor, as well.
I also really like a drizzle of balsamic vinegar over the top on occasion.
How to make the recipe
Toast the bread to your desired doneness.
Mash the avocado on a plate or cutting board and then spread it onto the toast.
Lay the thinly sliced radishes over the top of the avocado mash.
Sprinkle with hemp seeds, freshly cracked black pepper, and flaky sea salt, if desired.
Serving suggestions
Serve the avocado toast open face. Eat immediately.
Avocado toast toppings
Avocado Toast can be customized any which way you like.
Vegetables ~ Obviously, we like this vegan avocado toast with radishes, but basically any vegetable, shredded or sliced would be a great addition. Shredded carrots, thick sliced vine-ripened tomatoes, thinly sliced cucumber, sautéed mushrooms (try my Creamy Mushroom Toast!), or leafy greens like arugula or baby spinach would make tasty toppings.
Fruit ~ Even fruit slices like pears, apple, banana, or strawberries are a good choice (try it- trust me!).
Beans, soy, or nuts ~ You can add cooked beans, baked tofu, or any chopped nuts or seeds that you like. A sprinkle of nutritional yeast would be delicious!
Extras ~ Garlic, balsamic vinegar, hot sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, sliced or diced jalapeños, squeeze of fresh lemon juice, Vegan Parmesan, Quick Pickled Red Onions, or fresh herbs make fabulous garnishes.
Pro tips and tricks
~ Choose a hearty whole grain bread (gluten-free, if desired) and toast it!
~ Use a ripe avocado, but not over-ripe. The avocado should yield to gentle pressure, but not feel mushy. The skin will be a bit darker, not bright green, with a slightly bumpy texture. Remove the stem cap and the color underneath should be green or yellow. Cut out any black or brown spots from the flesh and discard before mashing.
~ Cut and mash the avocado only when you’re ready to eat. Do not do this ahead of time and the avocado mash will turn brown.
~ Mash the avocado on a cutting board or plate and then spread onto the toast. Do not mash the avocado directly onto the toast or you risk the bread losing some of its crunch and texture.
~ Slice the radishes very thinly.
~ Season it! Freshly cracked black pepper adds tons of flavor. Salt, optional, can also punch up the flavors. Optional, add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Kim at Three Olives Branch
I love avocado toast, and I love the idea of using some radishes as well! It looks so delicious!
Jenn S.
Thanks, Kim! I love the little spicy bite the radishes bring.
Lisa | Garlic & Zest
So, now I’m feeling self-conscious — a food blogger without an avocado toast. Does it count if I made a sandwich with avocado and stuck an egg on top?
Jenn S.
HaHa! Yes, I think it does count!!
Monica
Haha, I had a similar thought, though I’m such a newbie to food blogging that perhaps I can use that as an excuse. 😉 I often wrestle a bit with posting things that everyone has already tried, fearing I don’t have much new to add, but this is a great example of doing a well-known concept with a fun twist to add value. Love the radishes!
Jenn S.
Thank you, Monica! It seems from all the comments that almost no one has tried radishes on avocado toast before, so I think I have a winner! 🙂 There’s always a fun twist to put on everything, right?!
Taylor Kiser
Love the crunch from the radish with the creamy texture of the avocado! Perfect duo! I could eat this every single day!
Jenn S.
Oh, me too. And I pretty much do! 🙂 Thanks, Taylor!
Derek | Dad With A Pan
LOVE this combo! Great Idea!
Jenn S.
Thanks, Derek!

I LOVE the pictures of this recipe! Avocados are my absolute favorite! I’m more of a sweet breakfast gal, but I’d totally eat this for lunch any day!

I’ve never put radishes on my toast before but I mash avocado on it all the time! Never underestimate the power of the avocado – it can literally do NO WRONG!
